My observations about the bahaviour pattern of some male doctors towards his patients, relations and attendants varies under various situations.(very rough to very polite behavior)
1. Rich patients and patients with strong socio-political connections.

2. Famous personalities and their relations as patients.

3. Beautiful girls, women, and ladies as patients.

4. When someone gives the doctor costly gifts.

5. When someone helps to stall the transfer of the doctor.

6. If somebody helps the doctor in getting a promotion.

7. When patient is accompanied by good looking ladies as attendant.

8. When a patient, particularly female comes to his chamber with fragrance of a famous perfume.

9. Praises the doctor on face –that but for him he would have been dead.

10. That the doctor’s God to their family.

A sort of negative behavior comes once the doctor sees
1. An ugly looking female patient.

2. When patient or his attendant both are old.(Elderly patients talk a lot, ask personal matters of doctor, take a lot of doctor's time otherwise in my opinion, they are very good as patients)

3. Patient in shabby dress.

4. When doctor comes to know that this patient has come to him only because some other doctor’s on leave.

5. When patient looks like or behaves like a politician/ a tout.

6. Patient who misbehaved with him some time back.

There are exceptions to above observations.
