Abstract

This chapter explains the importance of personal attitude in day-to-day life. Personal attitude influences all aspects of hospital relationships–;from a friendly morning greeting to economy of hospital equipment. Good posture, cleanliness, and neatness, all are indications of a person's self-respect. Surgical operations are carried out in team fashion, and the need for harmony is paramount. Consideration of others is exemplified by tolerance, kindness, gentleness, and even the kind word and smile, which is welcomed by everyone. In comparison, arrogance breeds defensiveness in others and, thus, defeats group function. Cooperation is a give-and-take that is a sine qua non for group function. There is no place for selfishness in this situation. One admires those surgeons and nurses who always maintain a professional attitude while at work, and thereby, promote good rapport among co-workers. During surgery, the personal feelings and responses to people or circumstances must not be shown.
