Doctors play a vital role in keeping us healthy and alive, making them some of the most respected and trusted professions around. They are responsible for conducting extensive examinations, gathering a patient’s medical history, and diagnosing conditions using various tests. They also develop treatment plans, addressing potential risks and outcomes.
They communicate complex medical information to patients and their families in an understandable manner, ensuring that everyone involved understands the nature of a patient’s health concerns and treatment options. They regularly follow up with patients to assess progress and respond to any questions or concerns.
