Aspects that may interfere with good interaction

Multiple aspects may interfere on the good interaction between the physician and his/her patient. One of the most significant factors is the doctor's stressful life.  Yes, doctors are a high risk group for the so-called burnout syndrome.     The work overload is the number one component that interferes on the doctor-patient communication.The ideal would  be that the physicians could limit the number of patients to be treated every day.  This would benefit not only the physician's personal physical- emotional life, but also people under his care, who would receive a better quality of medical attention.
