- Modern medicine is in danger of losing a powerful, old-fashioned tool: human touch. Physician and writer Abraham Verghese describes our strange new world where patients are merely data points, and calls for a return to the traditional one-on-one physical exam.
Talk by Abraham Verghese.
Such a powerful talk. Yes, indeed, in our age and time, the power of touch seems to have been grossly ignored. Machines, no matter how specialized they are can never take the place of the human touch. Empathy with the patient shows clearly in the human touch. Our doctors of today need to take the cue. God bless Dr Abraham Verghese. A great doctor and a wonderful human being.
Extraordinary talk… brings tears to my eyes…
Extraordinary speech.The essence of a doctor totally forgotten in so called investigation treatment of present day.I ,being a doctor will try to imbibe atleast a fraction of what he has conveyed by this soul stirring talk
Thank you for the wonderful, educational, video Dr. Verghese
Brilliant talk. As a retired physician myself I admire him. Now I could hardly see a physician of his caliber. What a pity all these rituals we practiced long ago just disappeared during my life time
*Outstanding Dr Abraham, every doctor must listen it...The power of Human hand..Importance of clinical examination*
Excellent message to the whole medical community 😊
