Diary of a Benefit Scrounger: It's all in your Head

Diary of a Benefit Scrounger: It's all in your Head: Every time I'm in hospital, I learn something. Sometimes the lesson's been very, very hard to learn....
"Don't ever be one of those doctors. If you cannot find out what is wrong with a patient,you have failed, not the patient. Don't ever blame a patient if you can't find out what is wrong with them, blame yourself. Lazy doctors blame the patient. Good doctors listen to them.

...
Doubting your patients, judging them, labelling them, is dangerous. But most of all it's cruel. It leaves scars deeper than any surgeon. Yet I've met precisely four people to talk to so far this stay and it was ALL "all in their heads." Unlikely, isn't it.
