Healing

January 13, 2010

Meeting musicians, rock stars, movie stars, actors, artsists, and all the glitz that follows is cool. Though, I learned through the years that often I am far more engaged by the craft and work produced than the person, or persona, I meet.

Now, the relationship of patients and doctors … that interests me. Perhaps it’s the more notion of “healing” that resonates strong with me. These are dynamics that serve the human experience every day and they directly impact our lives and in one of the most profound ways.

While I’m currently in the “eye of the storm” for an Experience Design study focused on Physicians, I wanted to share the observation of how much I value the opportunity of serving healthcare, the practitioners who can use the support, and patients who need compassion and empathy navigating the severe complexity. While being honest with this observation, Ryan Armbruster and Mark Hurst come quickly to mind. In addition, patientslikeme.com is sure on to something.
