Moods are such a crucial part of how we handle the work that we do so it is crucial to take care of ourselves in a way that is going to support a productive and upbeat mood. This is the same for a health care professional as it is going to be for those who come to them for care. This is why scrubs have changed so sharply over the past few years because patients need to feel that they are dealing one on one with an individual person who is really devoted to them and their situation even though both parties understand that the connection between the two people is an economic one. Without having this kind of subtext to the interaction, it can be difficult for the pro to convey all of the information because perhaps despite themselves, the patient feels as if they are dealing with a system, rather than a person. These tiny psychological cues can make a huge difference in a situation and really do need to be looked after. It can make a vast sea of difference in whether a patient will listen to the pro or if they will be busy feeling that no one really cares about them and the whole medical experience is a terrible trial they are forced to endure.

It might sound dramatic, but at the heart of it, human beings are creatures of drama and more of this goes on in our subconscious than most of us are aware of. Small details such as room decor, air temperature, doctor mannerisms and tones, nurse apparel and all sorts of other minutiae have powerful effects on an incoming patient.
