You know, the doctors like to think of themselves as science, but persons aren't like other objects of science.
Ever thought about the difference between pain and suffering?

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the compassionate side of healthcare. Dr. Cassell emphasizes the need for person-centered care, highlighting how understanding the individual behind the illness can transform medical practice. The conversation also touches on the role of mindfulness and how Eastern and Western approaches to suffering differ. With anecdotes from his extensive career, Dr. Cassell shares how incorporating the humanities into medicine can offer deeper insights into patient care.
Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone navigating your own health journey, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how to approach suffering with empathy and understanding.
