The Importance of Professionalism in Health Care
In five and a half years of medical school, do you know how much time was spent on ethics? My guess is zero. Two hours every day for one and ahalf years. What we need is, we need to get a lot better at communicating with patients. Things like biochemistry, basic sciences, all of that can be learned later. But what you need to do primarily and as soon as possible is professionalism. And professionalism is being honest and communicating well with your patients and your families.
