Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining professional boundaries and objectivity in the doctor-patient relationship. It suggests that a doctor should remain emotionally detached and not reveal personal details or biases to their patients. Comparing the doctor to a mirror highlights the idea that they are meant to reflect their patients' symptoms, without adding their own interpretations or judgments. By being "opaque," the quote suggests that the doctor should offer a neutral perspective, focused solely on the information presented to them.
