I care deeply about each and every one of my patients, and I do not want a difference in opinion to create a wedge in our relationship. The healthcare system must provide care in a just way so that those who need care have access to it. When I was a medical student at Baylor College of Medicine, I participated in their Ethics track.

If they’re in a major car crash, they’re going to have more long-term complications probably than a 20-year-old would. But I think then the other factor in this that makes it complicated is the decision for someone in Manhattan might be very different than the decision for someone in, like, rural Wyoming.

We must often deliver complex medical information that carries heavy emotional weight in pressured settings to individuals with varying cultural backgrounds, values, and beliefs. And one of the hardest things is to distill it down to a sentence or two about what is information, what does it mean? And then be quiet and listen.
