We always hear everyone emphasizing the importance of empathy, connecting with patient, being considerate of their problems but rarely do we talk about the possible emotional turmoil physicians may suffer.  Even for ensuring better care to the patient, health care providers are supposed to maintain professional detachment, so their judgment is not blurred.  So where do we draw the line between emotional concern and detachment?

  Aayushama and Manita discuss with Dr. Richa Amatya, a consultant psychiatrist, about the importance of empathy as well as remembering to  step back when it is needed. Thank you ma'am for joining. 

Also, a big thank you to Dr. Leepy Poudel and Dr. Shahrukh Sangachhen for sharing their experiences.  

Thank you Pratik for this wonderful edit.
