In an article recently published in the Journal, Zelek and Phillips [1] attempt to identify some of the current context of the "doctor – nurse" game as "played" at a Canadian hospital in January 2000. Some readers may appropriately ask "What does this have to do with equity?", but personal experience suggests dysfunctional medical teamwork inevitably leads to diminishment in quality. The reasonable claim that lower quality medical care has a disproportionate effect on the less advantaged leads to the relevance of this topic to equity in health, in my opinion. |
