IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY TO DOCTORS?

JEFF HADEN ON LINKEDIN  "GREAT LEADERSHIP STARTS AND ENDS WITH THIS."

I don't have permission to quote Jeff Haden, so please, if you're on Linkedin, read this article today and don't stop til you get to the end.

"No one cares how much you know . . ." 

It reminds me of why I quit going to one doctor several years ago.

It also reminds me of another quote, from a doctor, Sir William Osler: "It is much more important to know what sort of patient has the disease than to know what sort of disease the patient has."

There is constant talk and writing on medical sites about how to get patients to take care of themselves and take their medicine when they leave the hospital.  Expensive programs and endless conferences on how patients can be made to behave.   Maybe this quote should be above the door of every hospital and on every medical website?  Just a thought.
