What prompts me to write this, is this study which states that “Physicians are not socially active, and should be”. I believe it’s time to voice my opinion! What they say is being an introvert affects the way I interact with my patients; the faith my patients have in me and the comfort I offer to them. My nature affects my relationship with coworkers and eventual referrals and diagnosis. My social presence affects the healthcare outcome!
I chose to be an introvert and work in isolation. I don’t think this is my problem, I believe it increases my focus and productivity. I believe people are desperate in knowing how I function to increase “their” productivity. I might as well focus on increasing mine! What is your take on this?
