I've learnt some important lessons: I never rely on the opinion of one doctor alone. I do my own research; I read up and am ready with questions I need answered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Doctors are human; they make mistakes, and you have to stay on top of them. You have to ask the second question, the third question, the follow-up to the fourth question.
As a doctor, I've learned the importance and value of listening.
Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.
Well, I don't give it out very often, but I reject the notion that you have to be a practitioner to give good advice.
I'm not a doctor. I just have a tremendous amount of common sense.
I truly feel the best doctors are ones who are criticized by nurses, patients and family. They do not make excuses and learn from their mistakes.
The best doctor, if you're sick, may not be the one that shares your faith. We found that out to be true at Liberty with the years of struggles with the accountants and lawyers we brought in and the financial management.
There are some fantastic, brilliant alternative doctors out there.
I always think, medically... you really have to be your advocate. You have to be able to back up everything that you're feeling with some information and protect yourself through the world of hospitals and doctors' offices, so the more information the better.
There is a clear matter that I am not a practicing physician; I have never been a practitioner; everybody has known for decades.
