Analysis: The Doctor
Reflective Writing on ‘The Doctor’ Film
The film is being related to a life of a surgeon Jack McKee (William Hurt), whose carries on a very successful practice while treating his patients with aggressive sarcasm and general disrespect. This indicates that he only cares for ‘mission accomplish’ and put away the emotional and also spiritual perspective in his line of work.

By watching the film entitled The Doctor, I have noticed some issues which are very common in a doctor’s career and it is also important for the doctors to face the challenge professionally.
I would like to discuss about the delivering bad news to the patients which is the toughest task that a doctor have to do emotionally. It is very stressful for a doctor to perform this job, but some of them chose to be in a straightforward manner which is effective yet inhumane and insensitive in a kind of way.
