The purpose of this "before-after" prospective multicenter study is to assess the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses in emergency ward.

Description:

Assessing the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses (infectious colitis, diverticulitis, pneumonitis, prostatitis, pyelonephritis , ankle sprain) in two emergency ward.

For "before" study without intervention : usual consultation without PIL .

Primary	Doctor Patient Communication score	All patients will be called seven to ten days after the delivery of a PIL during the visit to answer a questionnaire on their perception of Doctor Patient Communication (DPC) since they visit the GP. Il will permit to calculate a DPC score.	In seven to ten days after delivery	No
Secondary	Adherence score	All patients will be called seven to ten days after the delivery of a PIL during the visit, to answer a questionnaire on their adherence related to the disease since they visit the GP. Il will permit to calculate a adherence score.	In seven to ten days after the delivery	No
Secondary	Satisfaction score	All patients will be called seven to ten days after the visit, to answer a questionnaire on their satisfaction about since they visit the GP. Il will permit to calculate a satisfaction score.	In seven to ten days after the delivery	No
Secondary	Doctor Patient Communication score	All patients will answer to a self questionnaire on their perception of Doctor Patient Communication (DPC) just after the visit of the GP. Il will permit to calculate a DPC score.	Just after the visit	No
