There are many reasons why doctors would not to be able to communicate with patients. First, medicine is science or humanity? Although object of medicine is human, modern medicine tends to regard human as broken machine. Second, gastroenterologists are overloaded by treatment of patients, providing education, attending academic conference, and writing papers. Above all things, it is much worse for gastroenterologists because of endoscopic procedures. The other problem is attitude of modern society about human suffering. Sufferings come from not only body but also mind or spirit. Although there are may difficult problems, if doctors listen to patients' history by their side, it will help to restore their faith. In addition, we need humanity education and improvement plans for medical service system.
