Is a tired doctor a good doctor?

The initiative of the Supreme and District Medical Chambers shows that the patient and the doctor are on the same side. It aims to break down bad feelings and tensions between doctors and patients in the health care system. Often patients feel that they are not taken care of and treated objectively, which they sometimes blame doctors for. The campaign aims to highlight that both doctor and patient are victims of a malfunctioning system that makes it difficult to build and maintain good relationships.

The medical association aims to change this through education and promoting public awareness. "Together for Health, Together for a Better System" is the next stage of the campaign to tear down the barricades of bad emotions and create an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding between doctors and patients. They are united by a common goal - health.

A new spot directed by Lukasz Palkowski, starring Tomasz Kot, is intended to help sensitize patients to the difficulties doctors face and inspire them to take an active role in the discussion on improving the health care system, as before. It shows that doctors are also people who try their best to take care of their patients' health, but sometimes face systemic limitations. Doctors are not "gods," they are treatment specialists who should be enabled - not hindered - by the system to practice their profession effectively.
