Physician Series Emphasizes Power of Touch in Care
Developing
In Short: The series aims to help physicians become better caregivers by utilizing all aspects of their knowledge, including the power of touch.
Medscape launched a new series called 'Take My Advice,' where physicians share their best lessons and experiences to improve patient care.
In the series, a family physician emphasizes the significance of touch in the doctor-patient relationship.
The physician quoted Michelangelo, saying, 'to touch is to give life,' to underscore the importance of physical contact.
Physicians are encouraged to share their advice and unique stories to help their peers improve patient care.

- As a family physician, I’ve learned that touch is a powerful and essential component of the doctor-patient relationship and should never be underestimated.
