“I think it’s all in her head.” Someone new on my team said about a patient. I don’t talk sternly much at work, because I don’t believe in scolding people. But this time I said: “We do NOT talk like that about patients anymore. Especially if you’d like to work on my team.”

Today in interview quotes turned AI Art: "I think doctors like a hard and fast. 'This is what it is. We can see it on a scan. It is an appendicitis, it is a...'. " What if a scan doesn't give you a diagnosis? Are some specialist better at this than others?

"I think as an emergency doctor, you have to be able to cope with uncertainty in your job, otherwise you go mad." Another Interview quote turned AI art. How well do you deal with uncertainty as a doctor or a patient?
