Medical Education & Clinical Practice : Present & Future
Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
A doctor according to Ryle’s description is one, who given the advantages of higher education, is neverthe- less expected to combine in his person, the attributes of a scientist, healer, priest and prophet. “In posterity’s harsh judgment, doctors will continue to be found- wanting on some attributes as “there is probably no servant of the community of whom a greater degree of omniscience is demanded, or upon whom a graver responsibility in respect of personal and sometimes social guidance is imposed”.
