(1) Not refer to myself as “Doctor” or insist everyone calls me this
(2) Let my patients talk, uninterrupted, before starting to pile on questions
(3) Pray for and with patients
(4) Lay hands on patients (don’t you hate when you want to show a bump you are concerned about and your doctor never asks you to reveal the area to examine it?)
(5) Remind myself that it’s a privilege to care for someone made in the image of God
