We delve into the powerful narrative of patient vulnerability and resilience. Our guest, writer Rachel Litchman, shares her deeply personal experience of being hospitalized, highlighting the disconnect between patient needs and systemic responses. We explore the profound moments of empathy that came not from the highest authorities in health care, but from those on the frontlines and in overlooked roles. This conversation uncovers the challenges of authority, compassion, and the shared powerlessness that can spark true human connection in the face of medical crises.
Rachel Litchman is a writer.
She discusses the KevinMD article, "Top-down hierarchies in health care harm patients and health care workers alike."
