Derived from the latin word docēre, to be a doctor is to be a teacher, of both patients and the next generation of doctors. Young physicians, in many ways, start out as blank slates. They have learned the basics of medicine — anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology — but they haven’t yet internalized the art of patient counseling. They haven’t yet learned how to teach a patient about what is happening inside her body, what may happen in the future, and what the management plan is for her clinical scenario.
