5. READERS COLUMN:
A Point of View Last Month Dr. Ajith Wijesundara threw a challenge at fellow
colleagues by opening a discussion on the current trends in doctor patient
relationship. However no one was bold enough to take this discussion further.
We welcome the views of other readers on the state of the doctor patient
relationship. Perhaps our overseas readers may have some interesting suggestions.
