Why the Power of Touch Has Become a Lost Art for Physicians
Developing
In Short: The series aims to help physicians become better caregivers by sharing practical advice and personal stories.

Medscape has launched a new series called 'Take My Advice,' where physicians share their insights and experiences.
In the series, a family physician underscores the significance of touch in the doctor-patient relationship.
The physician notes that touch can be a powerful tool, quoting Michelangelo's assertion that 'to touch is to give life.
This sentiment reflects the belief that physical contact can enhance trust and improve patient care.
What's still developing
- Do you have good advice you want to offer your fellow physicians and a story only you can tell?
- Take My Advice is a Medscape series where physicians share their best lessons, the wins and losses, and how to use everything you know to become a better caregiver every day.
- Michelangelo once said, “to touch is to give life.” He had a point.
