In today’s healthcare system, economic indicators dominate, and maintaining profitability is the top priority. In the pursuit of this goal, we often lose sight of the fact that we are working with people and that we need to understand the underlying causes of their symptoms as thoroughly as possible in a short amount of time. However, the situation is steadily deteriorating, partly due to the growing number of patients (an aging population), the reduction in available funding, and the rapid decline in healthcare personnel.
I consider it equally important that, in our fast-paced world, we not forget to show empathy toward those who come to us with complaints—even if they may not actually be ill. A doctor cannot simply dismiss every illness with a “I don’t know,” although this is undeniably the most effective way for us to connect with the person we are examining—not only through a dry, scientific approach, but also on an emotional level.
