You have to abide by clinical method and clinical method starts with taking a history and then you examine the patient and
then you plan your investigations and then you interpret and then you try and make a diagnosis and then you plan treatment.
You don't start slamming treatment into people as they come through the door and ordering a CT scan.
And because you make mistakes if you do that.
And that's how I was taught and that's how I've seen the great physicians and doctors that I've worked with, is that we start at the beginning.
And I just I, I just worry sometimes that medicine is going so fast, so technical that that's forgotten.
I also I'm glad we choose students. You've got him.
You've got some emotional maturity because you can do all this stuff.
But actually, if the patients find you not human and engaging, it causes immense amount of trouble.
And all the difficulties we have is when quite clever, good doctors don't handle people correctly.
And I think the little things that doing the communication skills that they do with the posture and the the fact that we've now got stable housing,
there's a good talking about end of life care. Yeah. Which I'm not I don't remember.
I was to talk about end of life care when I was a student. So, um, I do think I'm very lucky.
I just I have something like a like a dinosaur, but I just hope that in this great rush of technological advance,
we don't forget that the doctors actually work at different level, at work, at a human level, human nature.
Chris, thank you very much indeed. Superb interview.
