Description
Summary:Schneiderman comments that physicians would be well advised to express clear appreciation for and wonderment at nurses' skills. But if they go beyond verbal praise, and improve their own practice by emulation, they show that they take their lessons to heart, that they are genuine, not sham. In so behaving they go some considerable way to healing their own burned-out hearts. Reinventing one's own hands-on medical practice provides a large counterweight to what ails physicians. It dovetails closely with the heed to know the patient and not just the "iPatient."
