Informative model: evaluation: this approach suggests a distant and uncomfortable relationship between patient and physician, we expect physicians to exert a certain amount of care to their patients, we think that physicians should show interest in their patient"s case, doesn"t encourage physicians to engage with their patient"s which is a part of basic physician/patient care, this approach leads physicians to overlook their patient"s need for meaningful, assumes patients are able to make life changing medial decisions on their own, suggests doctors should abandon their patients in an area where they need help the most.
