Abstract

Immediately prior to their consultation of a physician 259 ambulatory patients were interviewed concerning their expectations of the interaction with the physician, the course and results of the consultation. From the responses received to open and closed questions several quasi-scales were developed. These scales showed correlations to variables such as nature of the medical problem, type of practice and socio-economic indicators.
