The Exam Room Door

Of the things I face each day perhaps the most remarkable is the exam room door. It’s the gateway to what I do.

Physicians as Mediators

August 5, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Physicians were once the sole mediators of what patients understood about their health. When we wanted to know something, we went to the doctor.

How Do We Restore Joy to the Practice of Medicine?

March 5, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

The results of a survey of over 400 full-time practicing physicians released this morning by Geneia show what physicians are thinking.  Here are a few of the ...
