Medicine makes that so easy to do, and that's exactly why being like, alerted to that temptation is so important.
What happens when public health policies focus too much on the 'greater good'? In this compelling episode, award-winning journalist Trish Wood sits down with Dr. Ashley Fernandes to unpack the ethical dilemmas that arise when public health strategies overshadow individual patient care. Dr. Fernandes argues that an overemphasis on a singular public health goal can lead to authoritarian thinking, jeopardizing the doctor-patient relationship.
The conversation doesn't stop there; they also discuss evidence suggesting that the chaotic withdrawal from Kabul may be linked to President Joe Biden's cognitive health, raising questions about why more doctors aren't speaking out. With a mix of empathy and critical analysis, Trish and Dr. Fernandes explore the importance of humility in public health messaging and the need to see patients as unique individuals. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of ethics, healthcare, and policy.
Tune in to challenge your perspectives and join the conversation on how we can balance public health goals with individual care.
