Do you like your doctor? Really LIKE him or her?
According to a study by Cedars-Sinai and John Hopkins, grumpy or unfriendly doctors could be a detriment to your health. Patients of friendly and courteous doctors and surgeons had more successful outcomes and were more likely to survive surgery than those being treated by jerks.
The authors of the study explain it’s not just the doctors – it’s the whole team. Medical staff and pharmacists are more comfortable working with a friendly doctor. They are more likely to ask questions or make suggestions – and less likely to make or miss potentially deadly mistakes.
