| What does it mean by being a good physician? There are many physicians in different fields, and I think there are some important virtues of doctors that should apply to all. There are two important values, and one of them is competence as a doctor. It means that the physician should have great skill and a lot of medical knowledge. It would be no use if a doctor has poor skills with diagnosing or surgery, because it could lead to serious problems such as side effects or even death. For example, I once was very sick when I was in elementary school. My family and I had thought it was just a bad cold and we decided to go to a small hospital near home. Even though I kept taking medicine that the doctor had prescribed, I didn't get better. So I went to a university hospital and found out that the cold had been developed into pneumonia. Luckily the physician in charge helped me to get over the illness and I'm still appreciated him. If the doctor whom I first diagnosed from was competent with trustworthy skills, I would have not had to experience such a hard time. Next, the physician should be generous to patients. The doctors are the ones who have to heal their body and mind also. If they don't respect the patients, they also don't have rights to be respected. For instance, I usually go to see the same doctor whenever I get sick. Not only does he have great skills, but also he knows how to treat patients. Once I went to the hospital in lunch and the doctor was willing to diagnose me even though he was not supposed to do. He always listens to what I say and give an advice if needed. He once said that he felt satisfied with his job because he could help people by sharing his ability. Also he wanted to make people happy both physically and mentally. I think he deserves to be highly respected as a genuine physician. In conclusion, as seen in two examples above, patients would get better if those virtues are commonly shared between all doctors |

Hello! This is YoungHoon Kim. Your writing was impressive because it was well written. The thing that I liked about your writing is that you gave two virtues of a good doctor and you gave explanations and examples according to them. Also, your examples were specific and clear that they made your opinion stronger. Eventhough it is a paragraph, I could see the introduction, body and conclusion parts that seemed logical. But I saw a grammatical error in "I'm still appreciated him.". Overall, it was a good piece of writing.
