In the field of health, the interaction between the staff involved in the patient care is constant, and without them, it is impossible to achieve the result that is expected to be the recovery of the health of the patients. To guarantee excellence in health care, they interacted with each other daily as a team. This team is composed, among others, of a doctor, a nurse, the staff of the medical support services (laboratories, radiology, pharmacy, physiotherapy, etc.) and administrative services (nutrition, cleaning and computer services, etc.). Among all these interactions I would like to focus on what is considered since ancient times as the most important and determining in the patient care: the relationship between the nurse and the doctor and the support that is provided between them, even though each of them has well-defined roles within the work team. For someone, this relationship is not exempt from antagonisms and problems about the functions of one of these two professionals, but for the majority, this is a relationship that is essential in the care of the sick and is as strong as it is weak and the same. A doctor can support the nurse in various fields such as: in the direct care of the patient, in continuing education and the overcoming of the nurse, and in the scientific research. In the direct care of the patient, medical general practitioners must share with a nurse all the information that may be useful to develop their work.

Through detailed knowledge concerning the diseases that the patient suffers and the risk factors for these diseases a nurse can apply the health promotion and prevention techniques and avoid complications in patients. A doctor must explain to a nurse the treatment, the possible adverse effects and the complications that the patients can develop, while the nurse will be responsible for the compliance of the procedure, the monitoring of the adverse reactions and the evolution of the patients. The general medical practitioners can help to increase the knowledge flow of nurses, both theoretically and in practice. Through interprofessional bedside rounds, updates on the topics most frequently handled in daily practice, bibliographic reviews, and visits for educational purposes the nurses can participate dynamically in the learning process, and in turn, it allows to improve the relationships of nurse-physician teamwork (Henkin et al., 2016). Nurses are actively involved, so they also deliberate the problems of the patient from the nursing perspective, as well as discuss the treatment alternatives proposed by the different parties that are participating in the comprehensive care of the patient. The doctor frequently leads and gives participation to the nurse in the scientific research activities that usually require multiple participants to cover all stages of this process: conception, design, implementation, analysis, and dissemination (Tingen, Burnett, …show more content…
In this relationship, there can be no place for hostility, the exaggerated estrangement between these two professionals, distrust or bad interpersonal relationship (van der Biezen, Wensing, Poghosyan, van der Burgt and Laurant, 2017). In fact, deficient interpersonal relationships would lead to weakening what academics consider the backbone of the quality of patient care, either in the hospital setting or primary care (Kadda, 2013). The most effective vehicle for this process to be carried out efficiently and without stress is to establish effective communication and timely feedback between both
