You expect a doctor to be accurate.

I am not sure that tactful in the way that its being used here is what they are supposed to be.

Tactful, the way its being used in this thread, means offering information in a sugar coated form that lessens the emotional impact of it.

Therefore lessening the overall impact of the effect and making it less likely the information will be acted on.

I am not sure thats even rational to want that.

But if you don't like a Docs bedside manner you don't have to go to him. Also, if he is "mean" to a lot of his patients he won't have much of a practice.
