*Golden Words to every doctor*
HAPPY DOCTORS DAY👩⚕👨⚕
A patient is never a
*customer or consumer,* let the law of the land say anything.
Every patient is a life with a
*beating heart and a thinking brain,* and you are being trusted by that patient to keep that
*heart beating and brain thinking.*
That is your *responsibility* today and after a thousand years as a *doctor.*
Don't ever be carried away by
*pride, anger or suffering,* because you are the only link between
*the patient and life.*
Every patient will not be kind to you. Some will
*shout, some blame, some threaten and some sue.*
*Stay above that plane* of interaction and do what you must for the
*good of that patient.*
If you feel you are
*not required, leave without either a harsh word or a bad feeling,* because more lives wait to be saved by you,
*your time is far more precious.*
*Clinical skills,*
*patient interaction and communication skills* are on a sharp decline.
*We will all benefit from learning more about these.*
In the massive information overload that burdens us,
*clinical skills* can form a solid ground to confidently walk upon.
The fear of
*committing a mistake is universal among doctors,* please learn to *develop your own individual strategy* to overcome that fear.
Please make your
*own standardised history-taking questions* and *examination format,* and *never ever skip a single step* in that.
Writing your
*differential diagnosis* is the best strategy to
*learn and eliminate mistakes.*
*Overconfidence* is the biggest *risk for a doctor!*
Be the *best soul* that your patient meets.
Even the
*most illiterate or rural patient will notice your words, manners and etiquette.*
These must always be perfect.
My dear ones,
*enjoy every moment of the holiest path* that you have chosen to tread upon earth.
May God keep you *protected and happy,* and
*may each one of you save a million lives.*
🙏 Best wishes to you all 😊
