  • setting example to patients

  • leaflets and posters in clinic

Should doctors promote good health?

  • better to hear info from someone who knows what they are talking about
  • free to live their own life
What is holistic medicine?

treat the person, not the body
to find out the cause so it is not recurring and follow up on patients to see how their condition is progressing. Continual care - Think of example

What is the hardest part of the job

treatment sometimes fails
@ Frimley, the morning after a patient had died - the doctors were quite saddened and dissappointed because it is almost a failure but it was important to maintain composure to treat everyone else effectively.
