💬 "When you are on the same plane as your doctor, you can tell your doctor things and your doctor can tell you things… But if there's a misalignment going on, your doctor says one thing and you'll say another thing, and you guys never meet in the middle. And that's how that doctor becomes the villain."

⚡ In this episode, I'm addressing the misconceptions surrounding the doctor-patient relationship and why doctors are often unfairly labeled as the villains in patients' stories. I'll explain how systemic issues and other external factors lead to misunderstandings and misalignments in health care. This isn't just about individual experiences—it's a broader issue that affects the quality of care for everyone. It's time we uncover the factors influencing healthcare and how we can work together to improve outcomes for all.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

  • ➡ The crucial role of the doctor-patient relationship in having effective communication
  • ➡ How systemic issues impact the quality of care
  • ➡ The importance of patient responsibility in alignment and healthcare outcomes
  • ➡ Why not all blame should fall on the doctors, and why sometimes, patients need to look at themselves

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
