Made me smile!
You sometimes get patients complaining about the bed-site manner of those in the surgical specialities. I suggest that if they want a good chat they go to the psychiatrist.
The lack of communication skills of surgeons is a bit of a standing joke but what people should realise is that although we are all doctors that people choose specialities based on their personal preferences. And a good thing too! I would be depressed if I had to spend my working life with my hands buried in other people's tummies.
It's like flying some like gliding others like microlighting and the third will enjoy flying IMC approaches.
And some of us like a bit of variety.
That's me.
