Doctors that take the time to answer the patient's questions and make them feel comfortable is rare, so I commend you and hope that continues throughout your career. I say this because most get into the field for the right reasons, but over time become desensitized. I hope it doesn't have that effect on you as time passes.
Appreciate that! 😊
I will openly admit that the desensitization has already occurred with me, and to a much larger degree than I ever expected. Nevertheless, I do keep this in mind and make sure that I don't completely lose the human part of medicine. I do expect that once I exit the hospital system and work more on my own terms, or at least have less restrictions, that I'll regain some of what I'd lost.
Fortunately, my listening skills have mostly sustained during this time. That one's going to take a long time to go away... and probably due to inner ear damage from loud concerts lol.
Some desensitization is to be expected and necessary of course.
