It would be possible to become a doctor and have almost no people skills. True or false?

It is possible for a doctor to be a jerk to patients and the people he/ she works with and still make a lot of money. True or false?It would be possible to become a doctor and have almost no people skills. True or false?
Absolutely !! Some Doc's have a great/good bedside manner but, they lack other skills.


As a RN, I would prefer a Doc to be a proficient Doc vs. a Doc with charm.





The debate of Health Reform does need some adjustments but, the Doc's really are against it because they will receive a base salary, depending on their specialty. But, this is a totally different response to your question.It would be possible to become a doctor and have almost no people skills. True or false?
Absolutely true!


I don't mind so much with a very skilled surgeon as the outcome of surgery is more important than his/her bedside manner, nasty though it is. BUT with a physician! I saw a sleep specialist who wanted paying BEFORE I saw him (I'm not surprised as I wouldn't have paid him after I saw him!) He was rude, gave me no help, suggested I did a cognitive behavioural course costing $500 which would not have taught me anything new, then wrote a rude letter to my GP saying I had a ';negative affect.';


Up his bum!
not a good idea. chances are- if you are asking this question, you are considering to be a doctor strictly for the money, dont do it. you wont be happy with your choice if you dont want to deal with the people
very true. I have worked with doctors that have had no bedside manners and were horrendous to work with period! These doctors still made plenty of money though and tended to work in hospital settings.
