Health Professionals Can Exercise Power Over their Clients.

Introduction

A health professional tends to play an important part irrespective of the stage of the life an individual tends to be. Acknowledging their importance most of the patients or individual do not experiment with the nature of the care they tend to receive from a health professional.
