This fear among doctors is particularly noted in fields like emergency medicine, intensive care, and surgery, where rapid, high-stakes decisions are required. The emotional weight of these moments can be significant.<\/li><li>Failing to communicate effectively with patients, families, or colleagues, leading to poor healthcare outcomes (1.7%)<br \/>Some doctors express concerns about communication challenges in healthcare settings.
