The Doctor

The ways that patients and doctors can feel silenced or dismissed in medicine – and how we can change this – is the focus of Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan’s book Unheard: the medical practice of silencing. "I'm a doctor and I don't always listen well," Dr Dhairyawan says. "I really want to and I want to be a good listener, but I don't always do so. I really wanted to understand what made it hard for us as doctors to listen better."Welcome to the first episode of The Doctor podcast, brought to you by the British Medical Association.
