To be honest, after working at a hospital and with doctors a lot I can say that Doctors are not like those in the drama. BUT there are some that are quite responsible and does a lot of following up. As for the talking and discovering patient`s other needs (family issues etc) That is for the social workers to do, other needs will be covered by Physiotherpist, nurses, dietian and other therapists. The shortage of doctors doesn`t help overall.+ b F$ W1 d5 |% m3 H8 O7 m8 k* p
