Dr. Inubo’s 1-Minute Q&A

For those who prefer to read the video content in text form↓↓

This is a challenging issue. Doctors generally aim to understand their patients and communicate effectively. However, there are cases where patients don’t provide the information doctors need. This lack of information can lead to miscommunication during consultations.

When dealing with critical health issues, it’s important for patients to share as much detailed information as possible with their doctor. At the same time, patients should also seek to understand what information their doctor requires. For example, they might ask questions like, “How does this treatment compare to other available options?” Such open and considerate communication can foster a better relationship.

If communication remains difficult despite these efforts, remember that there isn’t only one doctor in the world. Seeking a second opinion or finding another doctor may be a good option.

In essence, to win over a doctor, approach the relationship with an open heart and a willingness to build a positive and cooperative partnership.
