a good doctor is not one who cures the most because in many specialties recovery is not a frequent outcome. it is not one who makes the best diagnosis because in many cases of self limited or incurable disorder the precise and timely diagnosis does not make a great difference to patient. it is not one who knows more scientific facts because in medical science ignorance is still rampant in several disease. it is not the one who is gentle, compassionate, and honest with the patient because these qualities are often insufficient for an effective medical course of action. it is not one who discover a new fact or treatment because nowadays new information is only a small fraction of knowledge to be inserted in the enormous puzzle of biomedical research.
