“As an academic specialty attending I believe communication in healthcare is broken. Gone are the days of the hierarchy in medicine, or so it should be. We are all equals, working to provide the best patient care we can. Why can we not talk to one another? Why, as physicians, do some of us not know the names of the nurses and techs we work so intimately with? Why are trainees often spoken to with such blatant disrespect? Because this is the way it always has been? Because we don’t have time? We can and must do better- for our patients and ourselves. Medicine in the modern era can no longer be practiced the same way that is was 10, even 5 years ago. Opportunities to communicate are everywhere.
Dr. Tisser has taken an enormous step in the right direction by pulling the wool back that has been over the eyes of generations of providers. He is working to shift a cultural perspective. This podcast is helping to prove what we know can be possible- that the team can respectfully and effectively communicate, that all voices can be heard and that patient care will tremendously benefit as a result. In the end, we are all just people.”
