Peers or Patients?

My favourite interview question is

"Let us say that you cannot be both. So, is it more important to you to be a good clinician in the eyes of : a) your patients or b)your peers. "

There is no right or wrong answer - but be honest, which is more important to you.......and why?


I posted this thread having read an amount about MTSS last night and thought that I have never had a problem achieving resolution with these patients despite my treatment being far from the what is thought to be best practice. This is out of pure ignorance and lack of reading/self education.

So now that I have a little more knowledge on the subject, do I feel like a better clinician? - damn right, but only because I could confidently talk about MTSS in more scientific terms to another professional. Will it change my success rate - perhaps not.

So despite believing that I care more about being good in the eyes of my patients, my actions tell me that I care more about being good in the eyes of my peers!

Curious!

Look forward to hearing your views

Patients are the most important, are they happy? do they send their friends?

Now if using your peers to get better results then more pwer to you(and me).

But other medical professional don´t pay the bills.
