July 12, 2024Darwin Hayward: A Patient's Perspective on Healthcare
We hear a patient’s perspective on healthcare from Derwin Hayward as Rob Oliver interviews him on the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast. Derwin was born in New Zealand and now lives in Sydney, Australia. His parents faced some tough decisions when he was a baby that have shaped his outlook on medicine and the healthcare community. This is interview 68 of 137 in the world record setting patient’s perspective interview marathon.
Here are 3 things that stood out in the patient’s perspective on healthcare from Derwin Hayward:
Sometimes, medical professionals can ignore the patient and/or their family as they develop a plan for treatment. It is imperative that the patient, and by extension their family, be at the center of care planning.

Derwin suggests that doctors today can become “drug pushers” for the pharmaceutical companies. Patients need to be the driving force in healthcare, not big Pharma.

Doctors and other medical professionals need to understand that patients have lives outside of the clinical setting. They need to understand the individuals in their offices in a holistic manner.

July 12, 2024Paul O’Hanlon: A Patient’s Perspective on Healthcare
Paul O’Hanlon gives us a patient’s perspective on healthcare on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare podcast with Rob Oliver. In Paul’s own words, he is a native Pittsburgher and “a guy with a disability.” He joined Rob Oliver for the Guinness World Record Setting patient interview marathon. For anyone who is not from Pittsburgh, Paul is a local disability advocacy legend. He has a long history of passionate and persistent advocacy for people with disabilities.
Here are 3 things that stood out as Paul O’Hanlon shared a patient’s perspective on healthcare:
Sometimes, patients need more than just monitoring. They need to be led through the healthcare process and system. Medical professionals can provide the guidance that patients might need.

Many healthcare heroes are unsung. They are the nurses and other staff members who provide compassionate care and support.

Medical professionals (and people in general) make assumptions about people with disabilities that are inaccurate. Often times, they have lowered expectations for anyone that has a disability. Paul has advocated for people to develop a more nuanced and personal understanding of the disability population.

July 05, 2024Beth Stevens: A Patient’s Perspective on Healthcare
We get a patient’s perspective on healthcare from Beth Stevens in this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Beth is from Indiana, Pennsylvania. She joined me for the Guinness World Record Setting patient interview marathon. I interviewed her husband Greg in episode 188. Beth has had a unique journey when it comes to healthcare. She dealt with severe allergies as a child and now, as an adult, deals with narcolepsy, PCOS and sleep apnea. This is interview 66 in the marathon.
Here are 3 things that stood out as Beth Stevens shared a patient’s perspective on healthcare:
Healthcare Heroes are people that save lives. In Beth’s experience, a pharmacist saved her life by identifying a potentially dangerous medication issue.

It is extremely important to feel comfortable with your medical provider. Medical providers should strive to build rapport and a feeling of familiarity.

Medical providers need to remember that patients are not all highly educated in the field of healthcare. They need to communicate simply and clearly without the use of medical jargon.

This interview came from the Patient’s Perspective Interview Marathon. For those of you watching on video, I’m not sure what was going on but for some reason everything in the picture is lavender.
