Compassionate Care in Medicine
Compassionate care starts with listening. In this post-rounds discussion, Tyler, Dr. Edwards, and Lindsey reflect on the power of truly hearing a patient’s story. “Patients might not remember every word you say, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel.” By setting aside preconceived notions and embracing each patient’s unique journey, we can provide care that’s not only effective but deeply meaningful.
