The doctor-doctor relationship typically refers to the communication and collaboration between doctors in the same or different fields of expertise.
The doctor-patient relationship refers to the communication and medical service relationship between a doctor and a patient. The doctor needs to understand the patient's medical history, symptoms, and diagnosis results, and provide corresponding treatment advice and instructions to help the patient recover. The doctor-nurse relationship refers to the coordination between doctors and nurses. The doctor provides treatment plans and instructions to the nurse, who is responsible for carrying out and observing the patient's condition, and providing feedback to the doctor so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner. The patient-nurse relationship refers to the interaction and care relationship between patients and nurses. Nurses are responsible for taking care of the patient's daily life, such as measuring body temperature, blood pressure, administering medication, etc., and executing treatment plans and instructions under the guidance of the doctor to help the patient recover.
