| Summary: | Traditional health systems, with patients as passive recipients of care, have proven unsuccessful in stemming the most irresistible and
exponential growth of the epidemic we now face. There is considerable healing power in a good Physician-patient relationship. In the

physicians, patients will definitely be relieved of hopelessness, have higher satisfaction, better adherence and improved health. There is
no doubt that this small gesture by physicians will be a precious gift to humanity. |
