Mutual Understanding Is Most Important

When we talk about the relationship between doctors and patients, what comes into my mind is generally negative news. However, I believe there is a way for doctors and patients to get along harmoniously -- that is mutual understanding.

On the one hand, patients are helpless and worried when they go to hospital. So doctor's attitude or response is critically important for them and their family. On the other hand, doctors have to face so many patients every day that they even have no time to take a rest. Such a high intensity of work could drive a man crazy. Thus, if they can stand in each other's shoes, most problems could be solved. Otherwise, a doctor's brief conclusion about the condition of patients might be regarded as cold blood and result in conflicts.

Nowadays, much effort has been made to case the tension of doctor-patient relationship. But I think the most effective one is mutual understanding and trust.
