In the present day, we need to possess some positive traits in order to be a good doctor. When and when
patients and their loved ones need it, we should be there to help. We should be trustworthy, honest, and
have integrity. We should also be open to learning. We must work together with other healthcare
professionals, be proactive patient advocates for their patients, mentor other healthcare workers, and be
open to learning from others regardless of their age, job, or status. We must also promote health as well as
treat disorders. We should opt to dedicate it to producing quality physicians.
