Medicine is not only a strict science, but above all, it represents a human science, in which the focus is on a human being, a patient and his health. Nowadays, clinical medicine is not only about treating a disease (to cure), but also about treating a patient as a whole (care). The object of medicine has remained the same, a man and his health. This article aims at effective communication in physician - patient relationship. There arises a question whether effective communication aimed at active listening may help in physician - patient relationship. More precisely, what could be its outcomes when it comes to patients ́ compliance of a treatment and their further satisfaction.
