Notable quotes from Dr. Blum’s interview:
I think the field of medicine is probably engrained in my DNA.
Take the time to really get to know what the issues are with the patient.
You can’t properly diagnose and treat someone in 10 minutes. It’s not sustainable.
Good, Quality care, people will seek out.
This is the problem. We are not practicing medicine, we are practicing healthcare.
I don’t like the term “Burnout” Burnout is gaslighting the victim.
