While I am on the topic of Shrinks I might as well add Doctors to this list.
The last time I looked up the term Medical Treatment it was defined as the care of a patient seeking medical attention.
Every person who comes into a hospital or medical clinic is in need of some form of physical or mental help.
In essence, what they seek to discover is the compassionate skills and supportive help of a doctor who is willing to (“Listen”) to their patient.
Perhaps I am emphasizing the term (“listen”) broadly but, is not a doctor someone who helps someone else ?
When did the term “Doctor” ever get treated with so much reverence ? ( Oh ! right this way Dr. Smith, or excuse me Dr. Soles, what wonderful footpads your wearing, or pardon me Dr. Patterson; but, your flatulence has no odour).
At what point in history did a doctor become more than a trusted and learned friend who visited the sick, the diseased, and the dying ?
Are not (“real”) Doctors humane caring people who take the sincere time to listen to their patients, not just as somebody who suffers with an injury, sickness or disease; but, more importantly treating their patients first and foremost as a human being first. If diseases are going to be truly fought, why not fight one of the greatest diseases of all…(“Indifference”) !
Numerous medical universities throughout North America, lecture doctor wannabes on transference and professional distance apart from their patients. Transference is inevitable.
Every human being has an impact on another. A doctors mission is not merely objective to preventing death and alleviating physical and mental suffering; but, to improve the quality of life in each and everyone of their patients.
That is why doctors treat diseases and suffering. They win some, they lose some. If doctors are to truly treat their patients, why not treat them as a person first, before the disease or suffering.
There’s every guarantee they’ll win, no matter what the outcome of the patient. There are some doctors who seem so damned anesthetised and lifelessly numbed out in their quest to understand the meaning of life.
Many doctors have much to learn about humanity. Taking the precious time to listen, laugh, and even cry with their patients.
Doctors can learn a wealth of knowledge from the heartfelt dedication of “nurses” who have stood through tested time and time again next to a suffering patient
with physical and mental fears, pain, and tears; concernedly and reassuringly holding the hand of an anguished, lonely, patient in real need of timeless moments of compassionate love and companionship.
In essence the genuine compassionate heart of a “real” nurse takes the initiative to know her patient well. Yes; doctors can truly be extraordinary human beings.
Real doctors have worked and studied long and hard to become the best skilled and sometimes the only trusted compassionate friend a patient will meet in dire moments of medical care.
No doctor however; should behave in a cold, impersonal, or indifferent manner, by professionally distancing themselves from their patient.
The best qualities and God-given natural ability a genuine doctor has, is not brought into harmony exclusively by their medical skills and knowledge, but; the healing gift of their innermost heart to their patient.
