“…15 Medical providers must understand such preferences and become equipped to provide screening information in a manner that is culturally sensitive so that each person will have a reasonable understanding of the other’s beliefs, expectations, and goals. 24 Hispanics’ fear of being used as a “guinea pig” is similar to findings in breast cancer research with African American women. Results revealed concerns about being used as a “guinea pig,” 33 while other studies identify a broader fear that physicians exposed African American patients to unnecessary risks.…”

Effective provider-patient relationships are vital for positive patient health outcomes. This analysis assessed sociodemographic differences in fears and mistrust related to the provider-patient relationship, which may contribute to unwillingness to participate in cancer screenings (CSs). The data are from a stratified, random-digit dial telephone questionnaire of non-institutionalized households in New York, Maryland, and Puerto Rico. Statistically significant results indicate that Hispanics, compared with Whites, were nearly two times more likely to report that fear of being a “guinea pig” and lacking trust in medical people would make them unwilling to participate in CSs. Additionally, those with less education were over two times more likely to indicate a fear of being embarrassed during the screening would make them unwilling to participate in CSs. These results highlight areas where health professionals can improve interactions with their patients and be attentive to their fears and/or mistrusts to promote CSs utilization.

“…81,82 As physician-patient information asymmetries and power differentials might not be overcome completely, emphasizing the respect of human rights and dignity could allow keeping them at levels mutually agreed by both parties. 83 Adepts of patient self-determination and information-empowerment believe that these devices are relevant solutions for repairing the deteriorating trust and improving the physician -patient relationship. The Internet can be used to increase the number of (virtual) interactions and encourage patients' reliance on their physician's judgment.…”

“…This mirrors the stance of the ASSH Ethics and Professionalism code which requests that hand surgeons maintain honesty and truthfulness with patients and colleagues (22). Effective communication and full disclosure is important in gaining patient trust and improving patient satisfaction (23, 24, 25). When addressing a medical error, patients are more likely to respond favorably to physicians who apologize and accept responsibility (23).…”

Influential think-tank such as the Institute of Medicine has raised awareness about the implications of medical errors. In response, organizations, medical societies, and institutions have initiated programs to decrease the incidence and effects of these errors. Surgeons deal with the direct implications of adverse events involving patients. In addition to managing the physical consequences, they are confronted with ethical and social issues when caring for a harmed patient. Although there is considerable effort to implement system-wide changes, there is little guidance for hand surgeons on how to address medical errors. Admitting an error is difficult, but a transparent environment where patients are notified of errors and offered consolation and compensation is essential to maintain trust. Further, equipping hand surgeons with a guide for addressing medical errors will promote compassionate patient interaction, help identify system failures, provide learning points for safety improvement, and demonstrate a commitment to ethically responsible medical care.
