She’s overworked and not touchy-feely but she cares a great deal about her patients. I realized this after I saw time stamps (1 am) of when she looked at and reviewed the results of my scans. Don’t be fooled by her tough demeanor, she truly cares and wants the best for her patients (she’s just not outwardly expressive about this). She is also very knowledgeable and experienced.
I don’t think she means to be dismissive or rude and she may be misunderstood but she could develop more patience with patients and personal differences that may arise. Healthcare and illness is tough for doctors and patients alike, patience and grace can go a long way for both sides!
“It is possible to conceive conflict as not necessarily a wasteful outbreak of incompatibilities, but a normal process by which socially valuable differences register themselves for the enrichment of all concerned.”– Mary Parker Follett
