Many argue that doctors have no pity for patients, that they are rather cynical people who do not know how, and do not want to worry about others. But there are several reasons for this behavior of medical workers.
Instructions
Step 1
Every day, doctors work with dozens of patients in clinics and hospitals, they face hundreds of different diseases, complications, diagnoses and drugs, and sometimes they have to face death. This situation eventually makes people real professionals, but at the same time can make them less sensitive to their patients. Therefore, doctors are often a little rude, they do not explain to patients what they are going to do with them, they do not always approach the process of their treatment with delicacy.
Step 2
Of course, patients may not like this state of affairs; they often wonder how doctors can be so cynical and ruthless. But psychologically, in this case, everything is justified: when so many responsibilities are piled on a person, one has to take responsibility for people's lives, when such a huge number of patients pass through his hands who complain of problems and pains, the doctor must have a barrier that helps him cope with difficulties … This psychological defense against problems arises over time for all doctors, allowing them not to be particularly imbued with the complaints and suffering of patients and to preserve their nerves.
Step 3
However, this state of affairs does not mean that people who do not show emotions do poorly with their duties. Rather, on the contrary, when the doctor begins to let the emotions and experiences of another person pass through himself, he can no longer work normally and soberly perceive the whole situation. Such a doctor proceeds not from concrete facts and cold logic, but from emotions. He feels sorry for the patient, but as a result, the doctor begins to make mistakes, make wrong diagnoses, worry about operations, which can lead to catastrophic consequences for the patient's life. Only cold calculation and a sober mind can help the doctor maintain composure even in a critical situation.
Step 4
In addition, you cannot show pity to a person, even a seriously ill person, because this can affect him extremely negatively. Such a patient can simply give up and stop fighting for life if he sees the weakness of his doctor. When a doctor firmly and clearly, without emotion, declares his position, then the patient becomes calmer, he realizes that he has fallen into the hands of a professional.
Step 5
But there is another lack of pity, when, despite the patient's misfortune or even thanks to it, doctors begin to extort money, convince them that they can perform an operation or cure well only for a certain fee. Such doctors violate all the principles of medical ethics, according to which it is necessary to help the patient in any situation, without deciding for him whether he is worthy to live or die.
