That One Patient — Why Medicine Treats the Disease but Misses the Person

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.Author: Ellen de VisserThis episode explores That One Patient by Ellen de Visser as a systems-level analysis of how institutional medicine influences treatment decisions, emotional detachment, and patient autonomy.By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual intentions, the episode examines why healthcare systems prioritize intervention, procedural compliance, and liability management — and how those incentives shape both patient outcomes and physician behavior.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/eQgn7G3cdro❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/that-one-patient-158520848?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
