A good doctor should have certain factors in order for them as well as for their patients to be at ease and develop good quality patient care.

First, They should have Patience. A doctor must be able to relate with their patient and assist them on their needs (even though its nearly impossible to do xd ) . Well thats why they are called "patients", the attendants (not necessarily doctors) should be able to provide them certain needs in order to achieve quality patient care. Doctor's who get easily mad about patient's desires and wants should exercise this factor.
Second, They should have Good Hygiene. Imagine being treated by a doctor with bloody hands from a previous operation. Thats right...."eew!" Perhaps if you're the patient of that doctor, you would be most likely avoiding that hospital you were treated. Yes, a certain doctor's qualities would be affecting the entire hospital so its best to observe proper hygiene.
Lastly, They should be Honest. Yes, honesty has a vital role in being a doctor. If a patient has contagious sickness then they should tell them straight instead of hiding it to keep others from avoiding that person. Otherwise they would be regretting in the end.


These are just some of the many factors of being a doctor. Not only doctor's should observe these qualities but also individuals like you.
