Just the diagnosis is never enough!

William Wilson

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Medical schools train us to be brilliant academicians and diagnosticians. But as physicians, we must never belittle patient communication nor be inconsiderate in our approach to patient care. Communication as a skill gets neglected in postgraduate training as young doctors chase procedural and diagnostic excellence. It is high time we make amends.
