There is a portion of everything in everything. Although, not a primary criterion to becoming a medical doctor but communication skill is a very important factor when dealing with patients. Of course, you’d want to emphasize with your patients especially when they receive a bad news from you, their doctor. So, I guess it’s an important skill to have as a doctor.
