Now ... you know the story about not getting your waitress annoyed at you until AFTER you've received your food? What do you think happens if you get your doctor annoyed at you before your treatment is completed??

Dr. Aniruddha Malpani, MD practices in Bombay, Maharashtra, India and has this to say on his informational blog for patients about using emotional intelligence with your physician. A lot of the tenets of Emotional Intelligence are being compared to meditation, because they accomplish some of the same beneficits -- including -- the Middle Path. Emotional Intelligence is all about "not too much, not too little, but just right."

Here from the doctor's blog:

I am a firm believer in the importance of information therapy and I believe that patients should become experts in the treatment of their own illness. Health is too important to be left up to a doctor, and an active partnership is key to ensuring you get good medical care. However, as with everything else, too much of a good thing can be bad !

Some patients become obsessive-compulsive - and often end up harming themselves. They often become too aggressive or demanding, as a result of which they damage their relationship with their doctor.

Unhappy doctors are unlikely to provide a sympathetic ear or a shoulder to cry on - which means that even if they get high quality medical care which is technically adequate, they often get little emotional support.

It's not a good idea to ruffle your doctor's feathers - and a high EQ ( emotional quotient) is as important as a high IQ ( intelligence quotient) when you are a patient. As the Buddha said, The Middle Path is often the best !
