Dr. Sammy Winemaker shares how patients can present themselves as unique individuals to the healthcare system rather than becoming "a cog in a wheel." We explore practical ways to ensure your personhood remains at the center of your healthcare journey, even when time with providers is limited.
• Healthcare systems value efficiency and standardization, which can wash away personhood from patient care
• Patients need to actively present themselves as unique individuals with specific needs and preferences
• Dr. Winemaker encourages patients to tell providers "this is what you need to know about me"
• Working in home-based palliative care provides rich environmental cues about patients' lives and personalities
• Information is a patient's superpower - the more you extract from the healthcare system, the better
• There's a difference between being aggressive and assertive - learn to be assertively engaged in your care
• Dr. Winemaker's "My Big Picture" tool summarizes who you are, what matters to you, and your communication preferences
• Healthcare professionals also need human connection - they often feel like "robots on a conveyor belt"
• Being seen as a whole person isn't just nice - it's essential to receiving appropriate care
