I think all three. … without clinical skill obviously you can’t be a doctor even…if you have no good communication then patient will hesitate to tell their problems and if humanity is not in your nature then how will you understand the poor condition of patients.

Clinical Skill > Humanity > Communication skill (If I had to choose). All three are of utmost importance in making one a “good Doctor”

It involves accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Clear and empathetic communication with patients is essential.
Compassion and understanding are vital in patient care.
A good doctor treats patients as individuals with unique needs.

Balancing these elements is key to excellent medical practice.

It’s definitely all three. For me, a good doctor means having the smarts to heal, the kindness to truly listen, and the humanity to care deeply. It’s about combining head and heart.
