And this too… the little red book - Why We Revolt - now in Greek (does this make it a “classic”? ;-)). A labor of love, of careful and kind care, by my friend and brilliant colleague Prof. Apostolos Tsapas and his friends Http://patientrevolution.org/book

This is why we need a patient revolution. Healthcare is sick and we all need to demand reform. We need more caring and slower care. Please support @patientrevolution.org and its efforts to reform industrialized healthcare.

A new study confirms what so many already know: being dismissed by doctors can be as traumatic as illness itself.
Patients report four kinds of harm: shame, lost trust, delayed diagnosis, avoiding care.

This is what I tried to name in The Invisible Kingdom: www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/h...

Did you leave the doctor feeling worse? How to recognize, respond to medical gaslighting

A Rutgers study found that dismissing patient symptoms causes lasting harm, including shame and avoidance of care.

“We must remember our human obligation to care—there as well as here—in a world split between peace and violence, privilege and deprivation. We need to face these truths head on, notice our burdened heart, our conscience guilty of silence, our lack of action, and our failure to take a stand.”

Caregivers unite! Against cruelty and the cruel exclusion of any persons from care. Fear bites your tongue until you learn that you have no voice. Caregivers speak up for your patients! Let’s find our collective courage and stand up for care.

"The Times analysis also found that skipping patients is exacerbating disparities in health care. When lists are ignored, transplants disproportionately go to white and Asian patients and college graduates."

The sickest patients are supposed to get priority for lifesaving transplants. But more and more, they are being skipped over.

At a time of cruelty towards those who show up to give and receive care, the professional duty of healthcare professionals is to stand for careful and kind care for all. How might our organizations - associations, boards, unions- see beyond self interest and lead care activism we urgently need?

Genuinely beautiful mass political movements start from and continue to prioritize the smallest scale of daily life. They begin with our own practices of self, of friendship, of interpersonal care, and of creativity. Don't dismiss or neglect the value of the small and the slow.

This is an important article for anyone in the business of supporting people making decisions. When considering alternative courses of action, people often start by laying out the options. Then, they review the pros/cons of each one. Think the famous scene in The Matrix (blue or red pill bit).

Until we are all aware of this crisis, nothing will change. Pay attention and speak up. Industrialized healthcare does not lead to careful and kind care (which are both needed to have any meaningful healthcare). Consider following @patientrevolution.org to learn more and get involved.

Because an ICD is so effective in treating sudden cardiac arrest, patients are more likely to die from other non-heart related causes, but their deaths can often be needlessly painful.

Implantable cardiac defibrillator shocks vs. “careful and kind” end-of-life care

Study: Even among patients with a Do-Not-Resuscitate order, over half had their implanted cardiac defibrillators programmed “ON” in the final hour of life. How can this be happening?

One thing I didn’t expect in the wake of the CEO shooting is the sudden attention on health insurance policy. I have seen this video and the BCBS policy itself go viral on almost every platform. People are waking up. Real lasting change in healthcare is coming. youtube.com/shorts/vWA2a...
