The hospital is a haven for many of us, but one out of four times you're going to get a life ending infection there. George Orwell called the hospital the anti chamber to the tomb. There isn't that much human contact of doctors because they don't have time so they on rounds. Presence that you're actually looking at the patient and talking with them and doing a real exam rather than a pseudo exam or something cursory. Patients want to be examined. They know when the stethoscope is being put on the outside of the clothes that that's not a real heart exam. And they're just disappointed that the doctor's not taking the time to do it right.
