Everyone is valuable

This case highlights the therapeutic value of valuing our patients as people. It starts with a common challenge we can all face as doctors both in primary and in secondary care. It is the challenge of facing a situation where both patient and doctor are ‘stuck’ where no progress is being made in patient care. A different approach was made to the situation and both patient and doctor could move on. It highlights an issue that is relevant for ‘stuck’ patients and all of our patients.
