Doctors who love their jobs Will respond to a patient in a friendly manner. Will listen to your problems with empathy. Will never ridicule you for coming in to the emergency so late. Shall not be angry with your visiting friends and family for rising above the permitted dB levels. (May instruct an attendant to discreetly notify them to be more genial.) Shall guide you with compassion towards good health. Be competent enough not to judge you by any of your characteristics be it mental or physical. Would treat each and every patient with equal goodwill. In short, not only does it take 6-8 years to make a good doctor, but one needs to be excellent (really excellent) in people skills to be a competent doctor (and be known in society); for people (patients) generally judge a doctor by how they were treated (as a person) rather than how they were diagnosed, etc. Doctors who don't love their jobs Will always take into account the time invested in medical school and try to justify that by indulging in commissions, etc. Have a frustrated demeanour towards all the colleagues who seem successful to her/him. Would probably do all the things (mentioned above) that a doctor who loves their jobs wouldn't do. Source
