Incredible! As a current medical student, I look forward to increasing my skills of performing a physical exam. I love the idea of the ritual of the physical exam. So beautiful.
Thank you for such an inspiring video, recommended by a Doctor to his medical students. Currently I’m employed as a Standardized Patient and always eager to embrace any and all perceptions …It was truly amazing..Thanks again !
Abraham Verghese is the William Osler of modern medicine..
I am A patient care tech at a hospital. This speech blew me away. It was an incredible speech. I wonder how medical students react to this.
This is a profound presentation
always worthwhile thank you.
Wow, that was an incredible speech and very well said. How inspiring to me as a student!
The future of bedside medicine is slowly losing it's lustre in the spotlight the media is placing on technological remote diagnosis.
But the importance and reassurance of a face to face consultation, in a way , will always have a placebo effect for a better result.
Hope the future generation of doctors realise the importance of making the patient feel cared for, however trivial the disease diagnosed maybe.
This is in the west that medicine is recent; however, in Islamic world and China it is quite old to thousand years ago.

10:14 _”And incredibly … they disrobe … and allow touch .. which in any other context … could be assault.”_
But if this person who’s in control of your psychotropic medication, _compels you_ to come in for a physical, _compels you_ to disrobe and you _reluctantly_ allow touch, what is THAT called?
