I think that, for most of us, it is difficult to really grasp the perspective of other people which of course makes it hard to work together collaboratively. I attended a wonderful talk by a physician who was then asked a question by an audience member, a question that was along the lines of "but doctors are so arrogant, so how can you talk to them?" This reflective and compassionate physician acknowledged that some physicians can indeed be arrogant at times - but then he spoke with us about how difficult, lonely, and often devastating it can be to be the physician trying to make these decisions. His remarks seemed to shift the whole audience from our knee-jerk black and white judgments of the medical profession to recognizing our own blind spots about physicians and what their lives are like. Just one more thought related to the quote in your message that says you should quit medicine if you think you know more than anyone else - here's a quote I really like - "It is what you learn after you know it all that counts."
