Dr. Jeffrey Gladden argues that medicine is shifting from fragmented organ-system approaches back toward unified, person-centered care that avoids unnecessary interventions. He sees this as an exciting moment for the field.
I think what's interesting is I think finally people are gonna get the healthcare that they always intuitively wanted, but because we've deconstructed medicine so deeply into all these different subcomponents, organ systems, basically, it's been very hard to put it back together. And certainly we've learned a ton by breaking it all apart, right? And, but now I think we're at a point in history where we can actually start to take all the parts and put them back together into a unified field. Kind of theory or approach that again enables the person to thrive and to have ultimately to have confidence that they know they're getting what they need and not doing stuff that they don't need, right? So I think it's the most exciting time in medicine ever, quite honestly. Exactly.
