The character of the physician has a great expression for all and, many times, is associated with that person who can solve all problems associated with health. In case of chronic diseases, such as thalassemia, this approximation is even stronger.

But it is exactly at this time that the relationship between physician and patient should be well managed. The physician hopes the patient to trust him and strictly follow the instructions. In turn, the patient needs the honesty and knowledge of the professional to guide the next decisions and help him/her understand his/her disease, as well as knowing the best weapons existing today to fight it.

It is important that this relation is always frank and based on respect and trust. Thus, the greater is the chance of the person to commit to the treatment and, consequently, of the organism to better respond to the procedures and medications.
