Attending: Medicine, Mindfulness, and Humanity by Dr. Ronald Epstein M.D.
Medical school can focus heavily on knowledge and procedures. However, medicine involves personal interaction with patients in intimate areas of life. Successful doctors understand the humanity and work to build appropriate relationships. This can help uncover true health problems as well as their solutions. A surgeon must balance the time in the zone following the process, with time breaking and responding to anomalies. Being assertive, humble, and a good communicator are all skills that are needed to be a successful doctor.
