This paper addresses the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship within the Colombian healthcare system based on neoliberal principles of the healthcare market. The data on and evidence of the deterioration of healthcare services in Colombia over the past two decades are so numerous that it is unnecessary to use quantitative test management methodology to denounce this. Here, the way in which the doctor-patient relationship in Colombia has become precarious is shown through expert testimony and personal observation as a system user.
