Doc's Explain Why?

Why don't some indian doctors get the fact that they have to educate the patient with what is going on?...why do they have to always think that they know "Everything" and they dont have to tell all the information to the patient?..

just because some doctor has 20 yrs of experience does that mean he doesn't have to explain things?..and he can prescribe a drug, suggest that the patient has to do an operation?... and just tell "Everything will be alright"!! leaving an element of doubt all the patients life not knowing what the hell went on during the treatment..?

Why in the world, do they have to think that the patient can't comprehend any medical term?...and ask the person's educational qualification if he/she tends to dare and ask "So, Can you tell me what this pill is for?"..

Isn't it the duty of the doctor to explain Why he is doing what he is doing?...after all, it is patient who needs to know it rather than anyone else?..

of course, i respect the degree and the experience and I do have trust on the doctor i am going to...but doesn't he need to tell the patient, educate him?...

I understand that doctors work round the clock and serve millions of people through out the year and it is a tough job ...but attitude of few experienced doctors and specialist makes me feel that doctors in India have to be re-educated with the fact they are there for a reason and patients go to them thinking he/she will find a solution to cure...Few top notch specialists have to understand "All a patient needs from the doctor is confidence that he is in safe hands and this can easily be achieved by telling him what he finds out from his diagnosis..." Medicine 101??

Why am i venting this to u guys?...i dont know...i am just pissed when a highly qualified doctor in Apollo hospital asked my educational qualification, when i asked my dad to ask the doctor "so can you tell if there is bleeding inside or obstruction due to the cyst"... They don't give reports to the patients, they dont tell what pills is for what?

I seriously wish i don't get ill and get admitted in a big hospital in India and get treated like this.. I seriously wish i was a doctor to talk to him back!

I really hope our medical colleges in India teach these things and our younger generation doctors are not like the baby boomer doctors who are well experienced with a whole different perspective??
