Question: What is your perspective of a "good doctor"!?
Everyday I hear people say "Is he a good doctor", "That's a bad doctor", "I have a bad doctor"!.

What is your definition of a good and/ or bad doctor!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A good doctor is someone who is willing to listen to you, and not just brush you and your symptoms aside!. He should be able to maintain eye contact and understand your fears over your condition etc!. He shouldn't compartmentalise patients as Type A, B etc, and realise that each individual is different!.

A good doctor is not necessarily one who can solve all your health problems with a magic wand, but is someone who empathises and tries his or her best to help you, without judging you!.

A bad doctor is someone who thinks they are always right and does not take the time to listen to the patient!. Such doctors, for example, don't believe you when you tell them certain medications give you certain side effects, and refuse to admit that such side effects are possible!. They are brisk in their answers and don't maintain eye contact and don't bother to explain things to patients properly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
