“Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.” ― Erma Bombeck
We build trust gradually. But, when there isn’t time for it to build we have to decide based on what we can find and understand in the moment. What other signals might you find in a doctor’s office which would give you an opinion about the type of doctor he/ she would be? If not a doctor, think of other professions and examples.
Don’t take your car to a mechanic with a bus pass.
Don’t listen to a weatherman who never carries an umbrella.
Never borrow books from someone who only looks at the pictures.
Try a few yourself.
