Good doctor qualities

Rural Doctor writes about ideal traits that can apply to every physician.

I concur with “unruffleability”. Performing well under pressure or unexpected circumstances is essential. This is why physicians who are booksmart do not necessarily make the best doctors.

This is especially true during training. A person’s true color only comes out under the harsh circumstances that residency provides.
