Engl Discussion1
For this Discussion 2, I would like to consider the ideas about the Patient-Doctor relationship that Dr. Verghese discusses in the readings and in his TedMed talk (Journal 1).1. What are your general impressions of his ideas, specifically around the idea of touch? Do you agree? Is that important to you when you visit your doctor? Explore this a bit in your initial posting.2. What have your experiences been when interacting with medical professionals? What positive, and/or negative experiences have you had? What could have been better during your visits to the clinic or hospital? Feel free to discuss your own, as well as family members’ experiences here.3. Finally, as a very preliminary matter, are there any topics or themes in the Verghese readings or TedMed talk that would be interesting to research?
