Un bon médecin- A good doctor

The French are concerned more with communication skills and treating the patient. Whereas Americans expressed mainly concern for the doctors ability and his/her qualities as a person. For the most part, both countries are concerned with the competence and qualities of the doctor. One difference was two comments, on the French side, concerning money. A good doctor isn't concerned with money. I think many Americans feel that a good doctor shouldn't be concerned with money, but that doesn't affect their ability, the most important aspect.

Salut Megan. A mon avis, certains docteurs ne donnent pas toujours les conseils qu'il faudrait. Il est souvent utile de faire recours à plusieurs médecins car les avis sont presque toujours différents. Faut-il opérer ou pas? Dans certains cas, certains vont répondre oui alors que l'opération n'est pas toujours la meilleure solution...
