To be honest, after working at a hospital and with doctors a lot I can say that Doctors are not like those in the drama. BUT there are some that are quite responsible and does a lot of following up. As for the talking and discovering patient`s other needs (family issues etc) That is for the social workers to do, other needs will be covered by Physiotherpist, nurses, dietian and other therapists. The shortage of doctors doesn`t help overall.8 U; J! o2 q3 N3 W& D3 C5 @1 u
