Moral Matters

Healthcare has become increasingly consolidated and corporatized over the past few decades and Danielle Ofri has written eloquently about its impact on the practice of medicine. In this episode, shared by Searching for Medicine’s Soul, Aaron Rothstein talks with Dr. Ofri about the challenges to the relationship between doctor and patient: administrative creep in the medical field, nonprofit hospital (mis)behavior, and the application of the adversarial patient compensation system to unintended medical errors.

Alexandra Robbins is the author of the book, “The Teachers: A Year Inside America’s Most Vulnerable, Important Profession.” It’s a great look at the reality of America’s teachers: what’s working, what’s not, and how we can fix it. It might give us some ideas for healthcare, too.

Trauma is shockingly common. Yet trauma-engendered behaviors are often met with ‘What’s wrong with you?’, when, as Dr. Bruce Perry relates, a better framing is, ‘What happened to you?’. This conversation is especially relevant as the healthcare workforce begins processing our collective trauma from the COVID pandemic. Dr. Perry co-authored a book with Oprah Winfrey that may helps us disentangle trauma and understand the powerful, protective role of healthy relationships with family, community, and culture. Reestablishing those relationships, and repairing the rents in our work communities, too, is an essential part of moving forward out of the challenges of the last three years.
