Just the diagnosis is never enough!

William Wilson
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.
