ABSTRACT
The relationship with the health care worker and the patient is grounded in respect for trust and ethical principles. The central theme of building trust is honesty and trustworthiness brought on a professional organizational and an individual level. The watch is turning, swinging from the physician–health care worker decision to absolute patient autonomy, and the emphasis on the relationship and trust building is becoming more critical. Patient autonomy is defined as the independence of choices and the availability of extra sources. The initial development of trust is the meetin g between the physician and the patient ending by exposing all the issues that need to be presented, such as what it is natural, what the problem is, and what the future treatment will be. The American Medical Association has similar ethics requirements as part of their code of ethics, and its fundamental ethics require that the physician should, at all times, be honest and open with their patient.
