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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.
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.
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.
Doctors are human animals. They want to be loved, they are tribal, they instinctually favor stories over scientific evidence, they make mistakes, and even small gifts make them susceptible to being biased.
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.
Compassionate doctors sometimes lie to patients about the severity of their condition, and it is not always wrong to do so.
There are doctors who help people who have done bad things; there are lawyers who defend bad people. I don't think it's unique to my profession.
Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?
How can anybody hate nurses? Nobody hates nurses. The only time you hate a nurse is when they're giving you an enema.
Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.
