I agree that practicing patience is as important as our skills. Patients might be confused of their symptoms, how to express it and even be scared to say it out. It is as professionals, our responsibility, to guide the patients to feel comfortable and safe.
Yes, indeed. During my internship, I saw Residents working days and nights but I truly admired the ones who never lost their cool, were composed in every situation and responded calmly to everyone whether it’s a patient, patient’s relative, nurse or an intern.
Absolutely agree! Medicine isn’t just a science, it’s also an art of empathy and patience. The way we communicate, comfort, and support patients matters just as much as the diagnosis itself.
It’s absolutely true. The impact of the words and work done, changes based on the way they are said and done. Patients trust those doctors who are calm and composed.
I agree. Right from patient history where we need to sort through important details from unnecessary patient thoughts, right up to helping patients understand their treatment where we may have to explain how and when to take each medicine multiple times while solving all their doubts. All of this truly requires a great deal of patience.
