چکیده

in 1999 [1], there appeared an article " Have the lessons of Munich been lost on American physicians? " Because of its ethical content, this manuscript was strongly supported and edited by the then founder and editor in chief, the late Dr. A. During the late 19th and 20th centuries, Europe, including Austria and Germany, were considered to be within the realm of medical excellence. Knowledgeable physicians commonly came for months on end for study and intensive tutorials with the nationally well-known professors in areas such as pathology and cardiology. These enthusiastic young physicians came from around the world, commonly from countries such as the United States.

In other words, doctor's offices and hospital attendance have now become " clinics. " Patients are shuffled in and out of them quickly, oftentimes their rarely spending more than a few minutes with their physician, including a history and physical examination, thus eliminating any kind of meaningful doctor patient relationship. In addition, the sensitive personal relationship between the patient and his/her physicians has been compromised by physicians alternating schedules, and technicians, nurse assistants, nurse/practitio-ners are frequently used to replace the doctor's personal visit. These medical practitioners are found in doctor's offices and hospitals, but now …
