Respect
Respect can be defined as consideration for self and of others. Respect includes consideration for other people’s privacy, their physical space and belongings; and respect for different viewpoints, philosophies, physical ability, beliefs and personality.
Respect is both given and received. We expect other people to respect us in return for the respect we show them. This includes our patients and their families, physicians and each other.
Respect cannot be measured as a quantity. It cannot be bought or traded. It is one of those things that is earned and built over time.
