Need Your Ideas for a name (total vanity)
Posted on 12/16/2005 11:14:42 AM PST by Kimmers
My husband is starting a medical practice devoted to helping patients with knee and hip symptoms. He is concerned that term patient is too demeaning and not representative of the best health care relationship. He believes that the best care requires the establishment of a partnership.
Recognising this philosophy, should the people in the practice refer to people with health care needs as:
A.) Patients B.) Clients C.) Partners D.) Someone else - if so, What would be a better term?
Thank You

"Partners" sound like a 50-50 relationship with a monetary interest. Doesn't work. Clients possibly. Patients definitely.

If he keeps them waiting beyond their appointment time, they will be impatient.

If he's a licensed medical doctor, there is only one word for those he treats: PATIENTS.
