ResumoA health assessment can be a collection of data, obtained in an impersonal objective manner, an inquisition by 'the rapist' that leaves the person feeling 'stripped' of dignity and information, or, a consultation by a 'therapist', who both obtains data and develops empathy, rapport and trust. To be healthy, an individual is in a state of physical, mental and social well-being (WHO). I have become concerned that more is being done to people, and not with individuals and need. My fears were aroused by my professional experiences, and by a conference report from 1996.
