Pill is good and it helps them to get better. If a patient's physical needs are given importance and sugar-coated pills are manufactured why can't their emotional needs be taken care of by using sugar-coated words? Can't sugar-coated words deliver a honest message? I am not accusing you of being unkind, I am just asking should doctors be brutally honest? Honesty is good, is brutality good in anyway? Might be too straightforwardly delivered messages are rejected by human mind just like bitter pills are rejected by our body, then what is the point of being honest when the message is not received properly?Manjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465166865789437941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10528990.post-47638596175971523412012-10-04T14:17:50.472+05:302012-10-04T14:17:50.472+05:30I try to be kind - why would I want to hurt my pat...I try to be kind - why would I want to hurt my patients ?<br /><br />It's just some patients may perceive this frankness as being cruel !<br /><br />Dr Aniruddha Malpani, MD<br />Malpani Infertility Clinic, Jamuna Sagar, SBS Road, Colaba<br />Bombay 400 005.

Don't you think there is an enormous...Dear Dr,<br /><br />Don't you think there is an enormous difference between being honest and brutally honest? If patients think that you are "blunt" then isn't it time that you change the way you tell them certain things instead of defending yourself? You are a doctor and the people who come to you (patients) are already emotionally vulnerable. Even the most hurting truth can be said in the nicest way possible. Can you be brutally honest as well as empathetic and compassionate at the same time?Should DOCTORS be brutally honest? <br />Manjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465166865789437941noreply@blogger.com
