OED and the dictionary of the world defines a "doctor" 700 years ago and today as a "teacher". The root word for the word doctor derives from Latin "docere", which means "to teach". The doctor contributes to educating patients about a number of medical conditions (the patient is experiencing a number of diseases). In essence, the doctor has the role as a teacher. Doctor-patient interaction works on relational models. The physician-trainer paradigm is required to be introduced to improve patient status. The physician-trainer model is a participatory model that results in achieving the patient's well-being and improving his/her health; the physician uses his or her capacity as a trainer, that is, he has the ability to form and instill adequate conduct for each patient. In this paper, besides highlighting the appetence for the relationship between the trainer and the patient, we tried to quantify the patient's acceptance of the treatment with/without continuous monitoring of the disease (chronic diseases), the degree of reasonableness in accepting the therapeutic behavior, and lastly how the individual feels the change of his status in the patient. The study was conducted on a total of 217 subjects (125 female subjects and 92 male subjects). The applied questionnaire contained 18 questions, structured to help us confirm or not the study's objectives. The results obtained will show us the level of appetite for the trainer-patient relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
