Lonnie Hirsch is a healthcare consultant in Portland, Oregon, and co-founder of the Healthcare Reinvention Collaborative.Ashok and Lonnie have so much wisdom to share...Guilt, shame and mistakes in medicine, the damage of hiding, the critical importance of normalizing discussing it, and why the concept of "good enough" is so difficult for doctors...it's all in this episode!What is the Healthcare Reinvention Collaborative, and how can it benefit all of us? We discuss collaboration, empathy, and how doctors and patients can support EACH OTHER. We're all on the same team. Organizations are made up of people; we're all people. A little empathy goes a long way! Thanks for being my guests, Ashok and Lonnie, I loved our fantastic discussion!
