AB Excellent  patient  care  requires  not  only  the  knowledge  and  skills  to  diagnose  and  treat  disease  but  also  the  ability  to  form  therapeutic  relationships  with  patients  and  their  families,  recognize  and  respond  to  emotionally  demanding  situations,  make  decisions  under  uncertainty,  and  deal  with  technical  failures  and  errors.  These  capabilities  require  that  clinicians  have  self-awareness  to  distinguish  their  values  and  feelings  from  those  of  their  patients,  recognize  faulty  reasoning  early  in  the  diagnostic  thinking  process,  be  attentive  to  when  a  technical  procedure  is  not  going  as  it  should,  recognize  the  need  to  gather  more  data,  and  be  able  to  incorporate  disconfirming  data  into  an  evolving  assessment  of  the  patient.  Often,  there  is  no  tool  or  instrument  that  can  help  physicians  with  these  situations  on  a  moment-to-moment  basis  other  than  their  own  cognitive  and  emotional  resources.
