It is right that sometimes we don't need doctors we need attention love care. I have seen many cases in which doctors just write the prescription and ask us go with serious face .
I have visited with my mother to doctor. A lot of rush there. He was examining within 5 minutes or sometimes less than it. My relative came outside doctor room so much worried she was. I asked what happened she became to cry saying doctor has rudely said you have diabetes go and take medicine.
How absurd he was. He was a liar. When we checkup the sugar from other doctor he said the previous lied to you.
How absurd it is! We are living in that society in which majority
Doctors dont deal the patient as a friend. So that's the reason we always search for a friend to listen our problems.
Medicine is necessary for cure no doubt in that.
But sometimes our cure is not mere medicine. Our cure is attention.
@lunasilver @xiao-aine @evagavilan what you guys think about this.
I don't believe doctors loving their professions still exist. I remember as I was a young child a doctor loved his job and he worked 24/7, never vactions and also visited you at your home if you were ill.
Today doctors work in a group building and many only 4.5 hours per day and 4 days per week. They do not know who their patient is and even if he saw you the week before and told you to come back he can't remember why. He can't read either otherwise he could have looked in the file.
I recognize that rudeness and also false diagnoses. I better don't tell you what a (student) doctor told me as I was pregnant.
I believe if you can't feel empathy and are a bad listener you can't be a doctor. As a doctor, you have to listen and ask the right questions. Also, you should be a good observer. I don't believe it if doctors say they feel a lot of stress. They hardly work only prescribe medication or send the patient home or to see someone else.
Exactly I like your opinion about doctors.
They don't have that guts that let others feel comfortable. I remembered when I was a child I have to visit to doctor because I was ill. The doctor was so serious like I feel uncomfortable to share. I want to share and discuss my problems I have alot to say. But I said few because he seemed to be serious saying ok I have wrote medicine and that's it!
