| The papers presented
at a workshop on ßpatient-physician relationship,û organized by Department of
Philosophy, Jadavpur University, have thinkers from various disciplines like
religion, philosophy and law discussing a range of issues involved in
patient-physician understanding. The concept is viewed in the modern context
as well as keeping the indigenous thought tradition in mind. The papers
examine the nature and limits of the patient-physician relationship, issues
relating to medical ethics, the working of consent and confidentiality, and
the link between law and medicine. They look into the role of culture as a
determining factor in the patient-physician relationship and the impact of
religious beliefs and values on the relationship. They stress the need for a
harmonious and balanced relation between the patient and the physician and
importance of communication in patient-physician relationship. The experts
specially throw light on feminist concerns about medical practice, such as
the need for treatment referring to gender-related differences, and examine
the way individual characteristics of doctors and patients affect the way
they relate to each other. They emphasise on patients being educated and
enlightened to be able to exercise their rights. The volume will prove
interesting and informative to medical practitioners and researchers as well
as general readers. |
| A woman has many roles to play in life
— a daughter, sister, wife and mother.
The most important of these roles is that of wife. Only after becoming a wife
a woman becomes a mother which brings fullness to her life. Epics, Puranas
and other literature extol the imporance of wife to a husband. She is a
friend, philosopher and guide to him. In times of plenty all relatives and
friends flock to a man like bees and ants to a ripe fruit, but at times of
adversity a man will find only his wife by his side to give support, solace
and encouragement. Probably because of this characteristic of a wife is she
called “better half”. This book is a small attempt to express the love,
affection and feelings of a husband for his wife with the objective to
inspire all women to become good and virtuous wives worthy of adoration by
their husbands. In Hindu thought Parvati or Uma or Sati is considered an
ideal wife, who together with her consort Shiva make a perfect couple or
aadarsh dampati. Another made-for-each-other couple — the Kogatas — have
beautified the book with pleasing illustrations of Parvati and Shiva as the
ideal couple. The delightful verses add sweetness and charm to the book. |
