Dare to be wise

INVITED COMMENTARY ON... WHAT EVERY PSYCHIATRIST SHOULD KNOW

Mike Shooter

Mike Shooter Retired Consultant in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and a past President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Correspondence c/o The Royal College of Psychiatrists, 17 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8PG, London, UK

It is remarkable that any of the advice given to medical students 70 years ago should still be relevant today. But none of it now makes sense without reference to the two-way relationship we share with our patients. We should be asking not what the doctor should be blessed with by the world, but what the patient should require of the doctor. This would include humanity, humility, honesty and especially wisdom.
