The framing effect makes it harder for doctors to treat patients because it changes how they see information.

Here are some challenges:

• Decision Bias: Doctors might pay more attention to how treatment options are shown, which can change how they see risks.

• Inconsistent Choices: If the same situation is explained differently, doctors might make different decisions even though the cases are similar.

• Confusion for Patients: If information is poorly explained, patients might not understand it well, which can lead to them not following through with their treatment.

Ways to solve these problems:

• Training Awareness: Teaching doctors about thinking biases, like the framing effect, can help lessen its effects.

• Clear Communication: Using the same clear way to share information can help make sure patients get fair and balanced details.

• Involving Patients: Getting patients actively involved in their own treatment decisions can help both doctors and patients see things more clearly.

It's important to tackle these issues to improve how doctors think and make sure patients get the best care possible.
