How do we find verification in complex fields, such as medicine? Does our affirmative knowledge derive from vast statistics and justified intelligence or from genuine relationships and quality communication? Dr. Orsini discusses the most vital aspect of healthcare interventions — the communication between the physician and patient. With medicine as the primary focus of healthcare innovation, meaningful physician-to-patient rapport is often a neglected component of healthcare. Dr. Orsini advocates for improved patient and physician communication, explaining that meaningful relationships are the catalyst for change in the healthcare atmosphere. He emphasizes that medicine is more than combating and preventing illness. Even more so, an attentive and relational physician improves the patient experience and promotes continual growth in the medical field.
