Someone asked me today: Are the old doctors good, or are the young doctors good?

I think this is not absolute, old doctors are not necessarily better than young doctors, and vice versa, young doctors are not necessarily better than old doctors, the standard of a great doctor should be: the accumulation of knowledge + clinical experience + frequent communication, the result of the three together. Older doctors are good? You should know that some people have muddled through most of their lives, he may be an “old doctor”, but his level is not complimentary, or some “old” doctors are always researching, so the theoretical reserve is really powerful, but because they are not working in the clinical front line for a long time, it is likely to However, because they have not worked in the clinical field for a long time, they are likely to lack practical experience, which is just like talking on paper. The “old” doctors do have the advantage of daily contact with the number of patients is really young doctors can not be compared, to know that medicine is more of an experience discipline, each amount of famous doctors, have experienced countless strange and difficult cases, but also witnessed countless life and death, these are very important to doctors, if a doctor has not even seen blood If a doctor has not even seen blood, even if he has the skill of dragon slaying and what is the use. But modern medicine is different from traditional medicine, many involve hands-on, for example, a tense and dangerous surgery, need to consume a lot of energy doctors, an operation down is likely to be physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention that surgery is never a, so many surgeries down, the doctor’s physical strength is a test, the grade too large doctors are likely to be unable to persist. The doctor needs to update his thinking and technology in time to bring the best and most effective treatment plan to the patient, and the doctor who is too old may not be able to keep this spirit, so it is not right to emphasize that the older the doctor, the better. Younger doctors are better? Like I said, modern medicine is evolving at an ever-increasing pace, which is a challenge for those who practice medicine, and young people have this abundance of physical strength and great ability to learn and remember, and these are indeed an advantage. But we need to consider the importance of experience, we can all understand the learning of young doctors, but if you let young doctors to treat you, the patient is certainly not willing, which also involves a contact with the number of patients is not enough to know that medicine and science is different, by no means a book can be out of the division, any one of the same disease in different patients, may occur in different degrees of change, this time need to be based on the patient These are not available in books, so being young also means lack of experience and not being able to adapt. Because of the special nature of the medical industry, in the eyes of many people is a late career, so some young doctors do not seek to advance, do not know how to follow the old doctors to learn, accumulate experience, and daydream every day, this kind of doctor no matter how old, can not become a famous doctor, I think the key to measure a doctor powerful or not is the level of treatment, not age. There is a difference between high and low in any profession, there is a will to live a hundred years, no will to live a hundred years, using age to measure the level of medical skills is really too superficial.
