Patients are the Best Teachers

In her podcast, Anamnesis by MedPage, Amy Faith Ho, M.D. focuses on eureka, “that moment when things just … click.” She credits special moments of physician-patient interaction for ‘eureka moments.’ She reflects “Patients are the best teachers. As much as we teach patients… they teach us so much more back.” In the podcast, three physicians recount enormously impactful moments with a ‘eureka’ patient that have enabled new discoveries and transformative therapies.

Dr. Ho recognizes that without patients, doctors are incomplete. The doctor needs the patient as much as the patient needs the doctor. Patient + Providers United prioritizes the physician-patient relationship and amplifies voices in support of unfiltered access to medical therapies including those that started as a ‘eureka moment.’
