Summary
Doctors and patients often struggle to understand each other, especially in fast-paced clinical environments. Many healthcare systems are not set up to support the kind of deep listening and connection that meaningful care requires.
In this video, physicians share key reflections:
- Practicing medicine is challenging, especially within systems that prioritize volume over relationships.
- Time constraints and systemic pressures often prevent doctors from spending the time they need with each patient.
- The resource Everything is Connected to Everything: Improving the Healthcare of Autistic and ADHD Adults from All Brains Belong has helped these physicians provide more effective medical care.
Reimagining care through a relational lens is possible — and essential — for both patient and provider well-being.
