Paging Dr. Manners! Some are just plain rude.

If that new doctor comes across as a bit rude, it’s not just you. 

According to a new study from Johns Hopkins University, young doctors in their first year out of medical school don’t typically take the time to introduce themselves or engage in eye-to-eye contact with patients. Other criteria used to rate the doctors’ etiquette included explaining their role, touching patients, sitting down and asking open ended questions such as “how are you?” The researchers found that over the course of three weeks, interns performed all five behaviors just 4% of the time.
