How do I know if a recommended cardiologist is patient centered?

Ask the referrer if the doctor encourages questions. The doctors who are strongly patient-centered are more likely to explain treatment options and possible side effects. The best doctors will gladly answer all your questions at any time without exasperation or impatience and will encourage you to learn more about heart disease, risks, and prevention.

A doctor who enjoys giving you full and educational explanations is the most likely to treat you with respect. The best doctors encourage questions. In turn, the most knowledgeable patients are usually the most satisfied with their doctor and their care.

Asking a referrer how much a doctor involved family and friends in discussions is another way to determine how compassionate and patient-centered the doctor is. If he values his patients from a whole-person perspective, it makes sense that the patient’s family will be more readily included in the discussions and decision making. Good signs of this are a doctor who looks at everyone in the room when explaining something, asks others if they have questions, and encourages taking notes or making tape recordings of the meeting.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
