A physician reflects on medicine's shift from treating isolated symptoms with pills to addressing the whole person. Younger doctors are rejecting the reductionist model, recognizing that healing requires considering the body as interconnected and incorporating broader therapeutic approaches.
Thank you, Shari, and thank you for having me on and really speaking about, I think, where I, I've, I've seen medicine being, which was kind of closed off, relegated more to here, here's a pill a day. And, you know, I've seen physicians not even look at their patients in the eye, not hold their hands. Now the, to this kind of point where I'm seeing, again, mostly with younger generations, that no, the human body is, cannot be dissected off into little bits and pieces and you just treat one piece here and think the whole person's gonna feel good. No, it's really come to a point where it is this holistic kind of thought process. And, and it really, I think, um, it, it, a lot of it is going to be coming from people like yourself, you know, that help us better understand that, wait a second, you got to think about this holistically. There's a much wider view that you can take. And then these are the, the, the other tools in the armamentarium that you can incorporate.
