“Empathy--the ability to identify with someone else's suffering--is certainly a prerequisite for a genuine apology.”
― What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine
― What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine
“Thus, whatever the medical student has been taught, and even genuinely believes, about the ideals of medicine, the primacy of empathy, the value of the doctor-patient relationship--all of this is swamped once he or she steps into the wards. [...] It's no wonder that empathy gets trounced in the actual world of clinical medicine; everything that empathy requires seems to detract from daily survival.”
― What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine
― What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine
“Fear is a primal emotion in medicine. Every doctor can tell you of times when she or he was terrified; most can list more episodes than you might wish to hear. [...] It may be sublimated at times, it may wax and wane, but the fear of harming your patients never departs; it is inextricably linked to the practice of medicine.”
