<p>"What has become of medicine today? What has become of the sacred patient-physician relationship? What has become of medical offices- aren’t they supposed to be healing places? Who goes to a medical clinic (no matter how Big the Name) to be insulted and diminished and hurt? What has become of physicians as stewards of healing?</p> <p>Why is this happening to us?</p> <p>How much have we been hurt, as doctors, to not be able to see past our own ego and agenda and use our hard-earned healing potential to harm instead of soothe and heal?"</p> <p><a href="https://www.idealendocrinology.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Corina Fratila</a> is an endocrinologist.</p> <p>She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "<a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/10/are-physicians-the-stewards-of-healing-that-they-are-meant-to-be.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Are physicians the stewards of healing that they are meant to be?</a>" (<a href= "https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/10/are-physicians-the-stewards-of-healing-that-they-are-meant-to-be.html">https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/10/are-physicians-the-stewards-of-healing-that-they-are-meant-to-be.html</a>)</p>
