The last time you saw a doctor, did you feel cared for? Or did you feel depleted?

Your answer is about more than customer service satisfaction. It can actually have important impacts on your health.

This week, Dr Anoop Kumar joins Professor Saku Mantere on the McGill Delve podcast. Dr Kumar is an emergency physician, and he highlights an important blind spot in healthcare. Physicians often neglect to see patients as whole, emotionally complex people – and leave them feeling uncared for as a result. And more than that, in failing to see wholeness, they close the door on treatments that can promote healing far beyond the doctor’s office.

In this conversation, Dr Kumar and Professor Mantere talk about what it means to treat the whole patient, why it’s so rare in healthcare, and why we should re-orient healthcare towards wholeness.
