Professionals aren't exempt. Arguably, they should be, but I wouldn't make
that argument. It seems to me that professional skills ought to include the
extra it requires to communicate without saying or doing things that will
predictably evoke personal responses. That skill set is certainly required when we
communicate with patients, so why would we not apply it to professional
communication as well. Communication that fails in this regard, it seems to me, is
careless, undisciplined...unprofessional.
Why should we be satisfied with less? Does the content matter more than the
relationships?

Firstly, I always have loved those who use the word "unprofessional". They
are almost inevitably the ones who are the least professional of all. Secondly,
How we communicate simply matters more than the content to us. Maybe to you.
How sad. We are then no better off than monkeys! And I have personal
relationships with my patients....no I don't fornicate with them...I simply care. Did
you ever see Patch Adams?
C'mon Gerry,
smile....c'mon now....
