Brrr to the January Journal Jitters

Recently, I have come to the conclusion that one of the best ways for a doctor to maximize patient satisfaction is to give them reassurance and hope. 

Many patients become anxious, nervous, frightened when they hear they will be going to the doctor's for a visit, or if they get diagnosed with a severe illness. The patients become filled with negative thoughts only, they think it is the end, they do not know how to go on, and they may lose all hope.

It is a doctor's job to give their patients hope. To be empathetic, understanding, and compassionate towards their patients at all times and remind them that there is medication to help them through their issue. As long as the patients take the medication, they will be all right. The doctor must reassure them of this. They must give them hope that they still have the chance to live a long and good life. 

When the patients have hope, and believe in a life they can live; if they are reassured that it call all work out, then they are satisfied.
