Patients need good doctors, because only good doctors make the care of their patient a top concern. Particularly in times of high stress and fast paced lives, it is necessary to have a sound medical advice which only a doctor can give. The Lifestyle Journalist Gaurav Goswami explains the finer details of, how to find out, whether your doctor is trustworthy or not.
Important word is ‘trust’
Patients must be able to trust the doctor with their life. Enhancing the accuracy of the diagnosis and increasing the patient’s knowledge about the disease all come with good relationship between the patient and the doctor. A trustworthy doctor (from the point of view of the patient)is the one who will not judge them! For instance, for an obese patient a trustworthy doctor is one ‘who would not judge him based on his weight’ instead help him get rid of the problem with compassion and understanding of his body mechanics!
Why trust is important?
This trust is imperative because a sick patient is in a vulnerable situation, this may be, emotional, physical, spiritual or even a financial situation. So it becomes important that patients reach out to trustworthy doctors who do not take advantage of them. Another point is the imbalance of knowledge and power, between the patient and doctor. Since the doctor obviously holds the change when someone is unwell, it is doubly important that patient goes to a doctor he or she trusts. It is often said, ‘trust in the healer is essential to healing itself.’
