Inhoud:
Doctor-patient communication is affected by a rarely studied phenomenon, the difference in demographic characteristics of the participants. Variations in age, sex, class, race, and religion of doctors and patients are reviewed, and the effects of similarities and disparities between them are analyzed for their relevance to successful communication. Also considered are the length of the doctor-patient relationship, its locale, and the health of both patients and doctors. Last, the pervasiveness of medical uncertainty is shown to underscore the need for effective mutual understanding, and the implications of characteristics of future cohorts in the 21st century are noted.
