Introduction
A medical consultation within the NHS is a form of communication with doctor and patient.
When a patient has a condition, most likely there will be both physical and emotional effects and is
usually hard to determine which is the controlling factor. And so, the doctor listens and takes on
everything the patient says to come to a possible conclusion. With all the evidence the patient has
given, the doctor can determine what might be wrong but cannot say for definite until further
testing has been done to rule everything else out. This is also the time for the doctor to reassure the
patient which might actively reduce any emotional effects and come closer to a definite answer.
