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...

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

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?

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?
