Different mindset and attitudes of a physician

We all have different explanations and expressions when you want to say about your  doctor ! 

According to me : 

Every Doctor/Physician should behave in a different mindset of attitudes while treating patients.

A physician should be Like a mother to find all problems with motherly compassion from the patient and listen to difficulties with utmost care and observation. 

 A physician should be like a father to give confidence to the patients throughout the treatment period.

A physician should be like a Guru to assess the patient from time to time with the rules and regulations, the discipline of lifestyle, diet, medication with proper intake timing and reasoning. Should know the limitations, strength, and tolerance of the patients in all related aspects. Should guide the patient with regular follow-up. 

A physician should be Like a judge while prescribing the medicines.  Should have a proper understanding of the disease and the merits of the drug.  

A Physician should be like a Student to upgrade knowledge and skills throughout life, even not in active clinical practice.  

 

A Physician should be like a leader by understanding the Skills and advantages of other physicians and timely utilizing them judiciously for the patients wherever needed.

In Ayurveda, for successful treatment 4 important things  explained as 

1) Bhishak - The physician

2)Dravyam- Essential medicines

 3)Paricharaka - Trained assistants to execute a treatment and to take care of the patients

4) Rogi- The ailing patient. 

We need to understand that a physician cannot be successful without the other three cooperation.
