A Singular Intimacy: Connecting the Bridge between Doctor and Patient

Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, D.Litt (Hon), MACP

Clinical Professor of Medicine, New York University School of Medicine

Editor-in-Chief, Bellevue Literary Review

Author of What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine

Despite enormous advances in healthcare, patients and doctors alike are dissatisfied with their experience. So much of medicine has been boiled down to rote algorithms and assembly-line care. Seeking inspiration from the gripping narratives of urban medicine to the unlikely poetry of the ICU, this presentation probes the most fundamental aspect of medical care—how doctors and patients connect.
