When I fall ill, I would like to:

  • be taken seriously in every aspect as a full human being

  • feel that the doctor taking care of me feels like a real person

  • connect with my doctor as two human beings in a safe space

  • be respected by my doctor with all my mysteries

  • feel that my doctor is fully Present so that I feel safe as a person

  • be explained my health problems to make sense in my life

  • be encouraged to make my own decisions in a safe space
