When I was a practicing gynecologist, finding a doctor for myself or my family was fairly easy. Since I knew most of them first hand, I had my pick of the best. It's easy when you are having lunch daily with doctors from many specialties. Even if you are not sure who to pick, you have a plethora of physicians with expertise from whom to get opinions. Having been retired several years now, I find my first hand knowledge is running out. Many of my former colleagues have retired and are no longer in practice.

So recently when I began not feeling well, I had to search for a new physician. Fortunately I have two daughters who are physicians, and can give advice about those available. But when speaking with many of my ex-patients, frequently they said they were having problems with finding a "good" doctor.

This morning while shaving, I thought it might be beneficial to discuss what I thought made a good doctor, and came up with the following:

#1. Empathy - a doctor who will listen and actually care about what you feel.

                    From Wikipedia - Empathy is the capacity to recognize feelings that are being experienced by another sentient being. Someone may need to have a certain amount of empathy before they are able to feel compassion.

#2. Competence - obviously, this goes without saying.

#3. One who takes time to discuss your situation and answer questions in an understandable manner.

If you find these three, you probably made the right choice. And if not, there are many others to choose from.
