The Patient Revolution

This was too much fun!!! Listen to the episode (there is some great music in it) and find out about our movement for care @patientrevolution.org

And this too… the little red book - Why We Revolt - now in Greek (does this make it a “classic”? ;-)). A labor of love, of careful and kind care, by my friend and brilliant colleague Prof. Apostolos Tsapas and his friends Http://patientrevolution.org/book

This happened in Thessaloniki.

“We are honored to welcome Professor Victor M. Montori, as an Honorary Doctor of the School of Health Sciences, Department of Medicine at AUSOM.

Del blog Zona de Salud de Ofra (udmfycofradelicias.blogspot.com/2025/01/las-...) me llega este artículo (www.annfammed.org/content/22/6...)
Está mañana oí a un economista en No Es Un Día Cualquiera (RNE, pero solo en X) decir q el problema en España es la productividad (q cada uno produzca más)…

Caregivers unite! Against cruelty and the cruel exclusion of any persons from care. Fear bites your tongue until you learn that you have no voice. Caregivers speak up for your patients! Let’s find our collective courage and stand up for care.

Burnout in modern-day health care: Where are we, and how... : Health Care Management Review ance the field and reduce burnout. Methodology/Approach We formed a learning community of burnout scholars and Chief Wellness Officers, sought recent review articles for a meta-narrative synthesis ...

Important international and rigorous perspective on moral injury and burnout in healthcare professionals. journals.lww.com/hcmrjournal/... Not only does it summarize the evidence needed to spur urgent action in the short term…

Corruption in healthcare. This is why we revolt.

At a time of cruelty towards those who show up to give and receive care, the professional duty of healthcare professionals is to stand for careful and kind care for all. How might our organizations - associations, boards, unions- see beyond self interest and lead care activism we urgently need?

This is an important article for anyone in the business of supporting people making decisions. When considering alternative courses of action, people often start by laying out the options. Then, they review the pros/cons of each one. Think the famous scene in The Matrix (blue or red pill bit).

Come over and say hi if you are around. It would be lovely to chat about our movement for care in healthcare (join patientrevolution.org). I’ll be speaking at the Sommer Memorial Lectures in Portland OR May 1-2 2025 www.ohsu.edu/school-of-me...

Prioritizing Patients With the Greatest Care Needs: Time for Family Physicians to Lead According to one estimate, family physicians would need to work 27 hours every day to follow the clinical practice guidelines that apply to their patients, and more than one-half of those hours would ...

Until we are all aware of this crisis, nothing will change. Pay attention and speak up. Industrialized healthcare does not lead to careful and kind care (which are both needed to have any meaningful healthcare). Consider following @patientrevolution.org to learn more and get involved.

Implantable cardiac defibrillator shocks vs. “careful and kind” end-of-life care Study: Even among patients with a Do-Not-Resuscitate order, over half had their implanted cardiac defibrillators programmed “ON” in the final hour of life. How can this be happening?

Because an ICD is so effective in treating sudden cardiac arrest, patients are more likely to die from other non-heart related causes, but their deaths can often be needlessly painful.

We need a #patientrevolution ! Our industrialized healthcare system does not serve patients OR healthcare workers! Please check out @patientrevolution.org to see how to help make changes. ⚕️

If this doesn’t disgust you, I don’t know what will. Healthcare should not be dictated by insurance companies, but it is. We need a #patientrevolution
See @patientrevolution.org for how to get involved in changing this paradigm!

And The Resident is the brilliant show in which art predicted reality placing a first edition of “Why We Revolt” on the desk of a fictional hospital CEO. @patientrevolution.org

I find AI vs clinician studies very preliminary but also as furthering the need for > investment in clinician competence and wellbeing. And yet > $$ go to AI. I call this The Big Yellow Taxi (…paved paradise to put up a parking lot 🎶) Paradox. Remember: Only people can care. @patientrevolution.org

Thank you for putting this together!

Another reason we need serious reform in healthcare--patients and healthcare workers are suffering. #patientrevolution @patientrevolution.org
