"A good doctor is not a flawless technician or a fixed archetype. They are someone who interrogates assumptions, listens deeply and adapts with humility to the needs of patients and society alike.".
What makes a good doctor? This is the question that @WaseemJerjes and I discuss in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine. It’s a subject that underpins the architecture of medical education, clinical practice, regulation and professional identity.
