I was curious to know from some ob/gyn residents...what makes a good doctor? esp. an ob/gyn.
I believe a big part of being a good doc is the ability to be empathetic, genuine, considerate, kind, caring, knowledgeable... i've really thought about these characteristics i'm not just rambling some off the top of my head.
I was wondering what gets the best response from your patients--and after having practiced for some time... what truly makes a good ob/gyn?
