The Measure of a ‘Good’ Physician : Matthew Sachs

(or click the paragraph below...)
Even in a world where our health care has become mostly consumer-based — we are graded by patients for our care, we are graded by our institutions for our productivity, and we are graded by insurance companies for our frugality — there is a reason why health care isn’t just a fast-food chain where you can go in and order anything you want, and have fries with that. Medicine is a science, but also an art. Remember, you call it “getting a second opinion,” not “getting a second ‘fact.’” Sometimes there is black and white, but I would say a lot of times there isn’t. And physicians live in this gray area, where we have to make the best decisions we can based on the information we have. And the patients have to trust that we are making the decision in their best interest.
