How It is Deplorable to Have a Bad Doctor

It is important to have a good doctor because your life is in his hands. That’s why it is also necessary for all doctors to be patient and passionate about their job. But in reality, we observe some of them doing their job very badly. Some doctors are better than others. They do the same job, but they have some differences. Good doctors are friendly and they are good listeners. They must also be competent. It doesn’t matter who you are, they are always ready to see all the patients and take care of them.

 Good doctor is the one who is very friendly. For example, I have my experience with my doctor in the United States who is always ready to see me. He takes time with me when I go to his appointment. He tells me all the time to call him anytime when I have health problems. I think he likes his job, and he is a good listener because he doesn’t press me when I explain my illness. He asks me a lot of questions and details to determine what I have. Therefore, people like to see him. I noticed that when I went to my first appointment. All the time, I went for my appointment I saw many patients who came to ask an appointment with him because they wanted to be treat by him. Also he confirms that he works a lot because he has many patients but he’s happy to take care of them. One day, I told him I am lucky to get him as a doctor because nobody wanted to be treat by a doctor who is not really interested.

             Even though doctors learn the same things, they don’t have the same best quality. Some of them are impatients, they don’t want to take their time to make a deep examination on what you say or you have. Sometimes some doctors become doctors because they need money to survive, they don’t really like their job and they are not passionate with it.

Others are irresponsible. They don’t care about the patient’s life. For example, it is happened in my country two years ago, a pregnant woman came to the hospital at night time with her husband and other women. She had some contractions. When she got into the delivery room, the doctor in charge to make the baby’s delivery told her it was not time yet, and she had to wait. The doctor was a woman, too. The other persons were not allowed to enter into the delivery room. The doctor returned to her office, and she sat down comfortably and watched a movie on the television. She left the pregnant woman alone and she spent her time in front of television. The woman got complications, and she died. That day, the husband was very upset and he organized with his family a protest in this maternity before the policemen came. That doctor is now in jail because the husband brought her to the court.

            There are some doctors who are incompetents, too. In my country, an experience with my cousin’s wife who was pregnant five years ago showed me how the doctors could make big errors. For example, the gynecologic doctor made the x ray to determine the sex of the baby. He told her it was a boy and she prepared everything as a boy, like the clothes, the shower materials in blue color, but finally-she got a girl.

Both examples show us  how a bad doctor can kill you. That means if you don’t have to fall in bad doctor hands anywhere in the world, you can’t be unhealthy or lost your life. We know nobody can be perfect all the time and we make every time some mistakes, but the doctors have to think about what role they play in the life, and they must take care of all patients seriously.
