Is your health in good hands?

A survey shows that medical error is the third leading cause of death in the United States (imagine in Brazil)! That's why your doctor needs to be a really good doctor (as far as possible, of course).

Note these characteristics to your doctor:

Being a good leader in the patient's treatment process;

With a good theoretical basis;

✅ Good practical basis;

✅ Constant updating and without prejudice;

Valuing multidisciplinary work, knowing how and wanting to work as part of a team;

Being a good human being;

Have and show humility;

Real interest in their patients' case, listens attentively and values the patient, as well as their effort and progress;

Be accessible, at a minimum, for interactions and answers to patient questions;

Seek to be the example - patients want to “be the professional” in terms of their health, they look up to them. A good patient is as well in body, mind and spirit, with good lifestyle habits, as they are in their healthcare professional!

✅ Health professionals have to be healthy! And this is the basis for that: https://icaro.med.br/aet/ - every health professional should read and try to follow this!

Have a positive digital presence - after all, those who are not seen are not remembered, but those who are well remembered are well seen. Professionals who spend most of their time criticizing things or others instead of sharing quality knowledge are, in essence, “no good”.
