A crisis of physician intra-professional respect
“What has become of medicine today? What has become of the sacred patient-physician relationship? What has become of medical offices- aren’t they supposed to be healing places? Who goes to a medical clinic (no matter how Big the Name) to be insulted and diminished and hurt? What has become of physicians as stewards of healing?
Why is this happening to us?
How much have we been hurt, as doctors, to not be able to see past our own ego and agenda and use our hard-earned healing potential to harm instead of soothe and heal?”
Corina Fratila is an endocrinologist.
She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Are physicians the stewards of healing that they are meant to be?” (https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/10/are-physicians-the-stewards-of-healing-that-they-are-meant-to-be.html)
