1. The patient has the right to considerate care.

Every patient is entitled to a physician that will be considerate and respectful to them. If a patient is neglected by a physician a law suit would most likely arise.

Some patients have to build up the courage to even go to the healthcare facility. Confidentiality is one of many standards physicians have to follow, and if this law is not followed it’s very unprofessional and illegal to be exact. If a physician doesn’t follow this law his/her licenses could be revoked; not only that a law suit from the patient as well. If the patients has AIDS/HIV.
