I learned about my cancer diagnosis through an email from a leading cancer center. This moment, following twelve consecutive core biopsies and a brutally negligent procedure, highlighted everything that is wrong with modern medicine.
Sylvie, Thank you so much for the thoughtful and concise commentary. I am glad you mentioned clinician burnout. In my experience, "burnout" is a major contributor to the lack of empathy and to medical errors. The three fundamental shifts that you proposed that must occur were provocative, although I believe changing medical education will be the most difficult. Please keep these insightful commentaries coming!
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I'm glad my essay resonated with you! I agree that changing medical education will be one of the most challenging shifts, but it’s also essential for creating meaningful change. I appreciate your support and look forward to sharing more insights in future posts!
Sylvie your insights into the broken healthcare system and ways to fix it are excellent. It is really hard on the healthcare provider side with battling insurers for needed coverage, health systems for redundant processes as well as a complete shortage of staff and services. However as hard as it is on our end, it has to be so much more difficult as a patient. Many of us are trying to be part of the solution, rather than the problem. But it is not easy. Thank you for lighting the way.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I truly appreciate your perspective on the challenges that healthcare providers face, and I completely agree—it’s incredibly difficult for everyone involved. It’s inspiring to connect with someone dedicated to finding solutions, and I’m thrilled to have met you and welcome you as a subscriber. You’ve made my day.
