Patient Satisfaction, Social Networks Affect Drinking Patterns, and Botox Diminishes Emotions
When doctors sit down, patient satisfaction goes up. The effect is real.
Sweat the small stuff: Small irritants destroy marriages.
People who socialize with heavy drinkers are more likely to become one.
If you could not smile or frown, would your ability to feel emotions be impaired? Apparently, Botox does just that.
Botox prevents emotions? Hard to believe.
I agreee that sex matters.
It’s not surprising that doctors who sit down while talking to their patients appear less hurried and more attentive – and more caring. A physician who appears to be in a rush does not instill confidence in patients wanting a thorough evaluation.
On Botox inhibiting emotions; this isn’t what the study was talking about, but I would think the biggest impairment would be from the loss of expressions and reactions not generated by those around you. Smiling at people causes them to smile back making the act of expressing an emotion result in new emotions in both you and the people you meet.
It’s probably politically incorrect to acknowledge sex diferences in surgical outcomes.
The small stuff: Oh yes! How those little things add up!
