In this conversation, Dr. Victor Montori discusses the importance of careful and kind care in healthcare, contrasting it with the industrialized medicine model that often processes patients rather than caring for them. He emphasizes the need for systems that enable deep human connections between caregivers and care receivers, the significance of reframing patient non-compliance, and the concept of minimally disruptive medicine. Montori also highlights the power of shared decision-making and the challenges posed by current payment models in healthcare. The discussion culminates in an introduction to the Patient Revolution, a movement aimed at transforming healthcare into a more compassionate and patient-centered system.
