Conclusion.
The life of a doctor should not be regarded as a bed of roses. He is a very busy man, day and night. He is always cool and collected. He has a kind word and a sweet smile for everyone. Sympathy and sincerity are the two essential qualities which every doctor should possess.
Psychological dealing helps a patient to recover soon. A truly
sincere doctor always thinks the patient’s welfare as his prime object. A
doctor has to be friendly with the patients so that they may frankly tell the
details of their diseases before him. Patience is another outstanding quality
of a doctor.
A doctor is so busy that he works from seven in the morning till
ten at night. In the morning be goes on his round of visits and then attends to
the patients gathered in his dispensary. A doctor’s life is such that he cannot
be very much given to bodily rest and relaxation or long vacations. If there is
an urgent case he has also to get up in the middle of the night. He is servant
of the suffering humanity.
A doctor has to be a man of strong nerves. What a variety of
patients a doctor had some have come with a complaint of fever, some with a
headache, a backache, or some with a toothache. Some have malaria, some have
influenza and some have typhoid. Some patients are suffering from skin disease,
while others are complaining of the loss of appetite. He takes each patient by
turn, examines him carefully. He has to see many horrible scenes of accidents
and deaths with full control over his nerves. In the operation theatre a
doctor’s time is very critical. He has to be very quick and skilful at the time
of operation.
A doctor makes no distinctions between one patient and another.
His room is always filled to capacity with all types of patients. There are
men, women and children; rich and poor old and young; carpenters and
blacksmiths; businessman and brokers; teachers and hawkers; millioners and
moneyless all are treated equally. He is courteous to everyone.
A doctor’s life is not of an ease and comfort. It is not only a
matter of his daily duties to treat the patients. He is a keen student of
medical science. He keeps himself in touch with new researches and discoveries.
A good doctor always keeps his knowledge fresh. It increases his efficiency and
confidence.
In short, a doctor is a responsible person. His profession is a
sacred one which entails heavy responsibilities and demands sacrifices. It
should not be deemed that the aim of a doctor’s life is only to earn money by
charging high fees for his services. He should be kind, sympathetic and well
equipped with knowledge and skill.
