Bedside manners...


Empathy, curiosity, compassion comes naturally to many people. But such things can be taught to some extent especially to doctors. Good manners and good bedside manners can achieve better results and better patient satisfaction. A well mannered gentleman doctor who is respectful and attentive can be more popular and can produce better results vis-à-vis a much more skilled and qualified doctor who is well known for his rudeness. A smiling, confident and respectful doctor can easily calm an agitated mind of a patient. There's no magic wand to cure the incurable, but good etiquette can work as magic bullet, trust me.....Dr Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.
