Medical practice is not only an academic execution of one’s knowledge and skills but has to be laced with the trimmings of compassion, understanding, spirituality and a sense of giving and helping the patients heal. A doctor should never forget his or her role as a caretaker, counselor, patient listener and guide in many emotional and other decision making processes. This is especially of more relevance in the obstetrics and gynecology practice as we deal with women and basic human ailments. The author has expressed beautifully the holistic approach to the practice of obstetrics and gynecology and this sure can be a good starting point for the beginner before he or she starts the innings in the profession. A sure shot at success!
