<p>@Johny1, I may not be 100% right on this, but once you are a doctor I don’t think (in most cases) the diagnosis is unusually hard. What I mean is, if a patient comes in with an STD, there not going to be like “I don’t feel good”, there going to say “I have warts in…” or “there’s a rash on my…”. Most doctors will then get them tested for an STD. Say is was an EXTREMELY socially awkward doctor they might have a hard time telling them and they might not feel comfortable, but if they came in they will end up telling them. The purpose (I think) of having a doctor who’s good in social situations is so that they can make the patient feel better, explain what they have in a clear way, and if they have to, give bad news.</p>
<p>Sorry if I kind of rambled on (I didn’t really have a clear point when I started writing), but the basic idea is, all doctors will be able to diagnose most cases (in their field), but the purpose of a socially competent doctor is to comfort the patient.</p>
