In my professional career, I have always emphasized taking consent and offering confidentiality and empathy toward the patient. These qualities are essential in creating a solid bond between healthcare professionals and patients, which mere diagnosing and treating patients cannot achieve. Moreover, to have a healthy workplace environment, it is mandatory to be helpful to your colleagues. The excellence we can achieve by working as a team transcends what we can accomplish individually. Working in a secondary care hospital, where we lack advanced diagnosing and treating facilities, for most of my career, I have observed that only having a good grasp of medical knowledge is not sufficient while dealing with patients. It is mandatory to have the skill to communicate effectively with patients, which as a doctor, I am doing in the best possible way. And to fulfil that, a healthcare professional should have a firm grip on the common languages of the area they are working in. I have always strived to learn new languages to be able to converse with patients and attendants in the most effective way. I can eloquently understand and speak Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Saraiki, and English.
