What are 3 things a doctor should do in each appointment?

“First, listen to the patient, and learn to ask the right questions,” Dr. Neel said. “Secondly, make sure you do a thorough examination, and the third thing is to make sure the patient understands what you are telling them. Communicating is one of the hardest things.”
What are 3 things patients should know about doctors?
“First, no doctor knows everything. Secondly, if you are not getting better with the course of treatment they are giving you, follow up and ask about Plan B. Thirdly, doctors are dealing with people all day, who are sick, and at their worst. They just want to come in, and get back home, and get well,” Dr. Neel adds.
“On the other hand, doctors need to realize that patients may be a little more short-tempered and impatient, because they are sick and at their worst.”
