      But I owe a correction. Student asked Q raising hard issue: does medicine have a place for people not great at communicating/reading others?

          I think the answer is yes. But I did a major disservice saying that specialties that don’t see patients routinely don’t require such skills.

          Such specialists rightly respond that team driven nature of medicine makes superb communication skills w colleagues & patients alike vital.

          Emotional intelligence universally essential in medicine. Yet I suspect people with variation in even that can have value on our teams.

          Pathologists communicate with families, patients, and other physicians on a daily basis. It is central to what we do.

          Pathologists absolutely must communicate effectively to ensure optimal patient care - our diagnoses inform treatment, prognoses, etc!

          I know plenty pathologists with more empathy and better comms skills than, eg, surgeons.

          Need to relook at Med teams. Need skills matrix first and hire to that. Some skills require EI, some don't. No 1 person has all the skills.

          Great point. Relevant to every field within and outside med. Need to break cycle of hiring whatever is available and then finding fit.

          We all know people currently in medicine with this issue. Often (perhaps unfairly) labeled as difficult, rude, arrogant, and uncaring.
