To be a doctor, consult patients pouring in with a world full of complaints and to tackle being level headed is a challenge.
I have heard patients watch from the waiting room and comment on the look of fatigue, burnout, pallor, dry skin/lips, apparent obesity even of the doctor they wait to talk to.
Doctors juggle work, family, their mental health, their physical health, their academic growth throughout life, among other aspects..
A chronic disease creeps in at times like a faint whisper
Back pain, anaemia, minor deficiency symptoms, insomnia, diabetes in some cases, BP dysregulation etc are commonly diagnosed ailments among the healthcare community.
Not to mention, being good to your staff, nursing team, uncooperative patients, enthusiastic MRs, and not losing your temper even once. Being gentle toned and smiling throughout the day, while having a high-performing brain activity.
How can a doctor, be a doctor, and make it look effortlessly charming?
