Patients As a Part of the Access Equation
We want to do everything for all patients, just like we want to do everything for all our children.
The old-school thinking of ‘doctor knows best’ must cede to a new approach of partnership so that patients become their own advocates. We must shift the narrative in our heads to catch up with reality.
Encourage the heart and believe that when equipped with necessary resources, they will become their own advocates.
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
