For those of you who don't know, Pavlov was a dentist. He was such a good dentist that he did not practice medicine on patients at all. Instead, he was the first person to discover the biological contingency between stimulus and response.

Doctor Lewis of Temple University does not deal with human patients either, yet he is one of the world's leading researchers in developing a cure for alcoholism and addiction.

While one doctor can cure a few patients by having a practice, research doctors who see fewer patients can develop cures for larger groups of people, and some doctors who engage in pure research and don't see patients at all can actually change worldwide trends in medicine.

Being a good doctor is based more on your achievements and methodology. Not your like of people.

Ha! DEFINITELY! Unfortunately I've had a doctor like that. I fired him.
He knew that I was still nursing my daughter at the time, yet he threw a packet of pills at me from across the room (that shouldn't be taken if nursing or pregnant) after talking to me for about 1 minute--no exaggeration. Thank goodness I didn't take them!
EDIT: For those of you who pointed out the whole research aspect of being a Doctor, I stand corrected. I took the question to mean a doctor who sees patients.

Not completely, they're not a nice person, for sure, but they can still be a brilliant doctor. I had major surgery which allowed me to live a much more normal life when I was six and the doctor was a brilliant surgeon but not good with people. Eventually we switched to a doctor who was more understanding and had more time to listen to our concerns, but the original doctor was still, the consensus is that my original doctor was the more skilled. Even though my current docotr is very respected. I kind of feel bad for the bad blood between him and my parents.

Yes, he or she chose the wrong field. However, some doctors get into it with research, a specialty, or teaching in mind, rather than actually being a doctor who does see patients.

As a fellow nurse I might desire to extremely agree, yet yet disagree. i think of that some medical doctors experience we are a nuisance, in basic terms there to break their dinner for an replace on their affected person. yet whilst they tried to do their activity devoid persons, they might exchange their tunes. i think of the typical public however has great admire for us. there became right into a polldone those days and the main depended on and noble occupation indexed became into nursing, even above clergy. We won't continuously get the honour we deserve, yet i understand on the top of the day, i've got helped somebody, and that i think sturdy approximately it.

It's like somebody saying they have no patience to work, that doesn't mean they don't know their work, but it DOES mean they're not a good worker.

Defintley....It takes a good bed-side manner to be a good doctor. I hate a doctor who is impersonal.
