Worry about the quality of the professionals who assist you

Do you want to know why you have to have competent and regular medical care, but you should also be concerned about the quality of the professionals who assist you? Read this: https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139

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 health professional (as much as possible, of course):

These characteristics:

✅ To be a leader for good in the patient's treatment process.
Have a good theoretical basis.
Have a good practical base.
✅ Keep up to date constantly (and without prejudice).
Valuing multidisciplinary work (knowing and wanting to work as a team).
Being a good human being.
Have and show humility.
✅ Showing a real interest in their patients' case (listening attentively and valuing the patient, as well as their efforts and progress).
Be accessible (minimally, for interactions and answers to patients' questions).
Seek to be the example (the patient wants to “be the professional” in terms of health, they look up to this - the good patient wants to be as well in body, mind and spirit, with good lifestyle habits, as they see all this in their health 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, in essence, possibly “suck”.

Got it? Reduce the chances of falling victim to mistakes... Look for good health professionals to accompany you!

... In other words, is your doctor really a good professional? Think about it. It's as simple as that.
