Love your patient

from Essential Ethics Hosted by The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne

Tyler Tate has co-authored a wonderful paper, "Love Your Patient", which explores the lost heart of medicine that is now driven by scientific and financial imperatives. In this podcast, Tyler explains his paper and makes a call to all clinicians to orient their practice towards regarding their patients as people and thereby accept the obligation to truly care for them. To "love your patient" is not just a riff on Jesus' injunction to "love thy neighbour as thyself" but a deep philosophical enquiry that should animate clinical practice. Host: Prof John Massie Guests: Clin Assoc Prof Tyler Tate, Palliative Care Physician at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital, California and the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University
