I have been harping this for a long time now. Doctor patient relationships have to improve so that patients feel that their medical needs are adequately addressed. More diverse, fair and compassionate doctors will surely help.
Here is what a leading researcher on doctor patient relationships, Dr. Somnath Saha at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland said in a New York Times piece: “I think the key is getting to know each patient’s story and to treat each patient as an individual. In doing so, you can really begin to understand where he or she is coming from. Empathy is really walking in their shoes, getting to know them, and putting your own biases aside.”
