Dehumanization in medicine: Wait, empathy IMPROVES clinical problem-solving?
Description
A new episode!! FINALLY!! I took a bit of time-off from this topic for my own mental health, but now I'm back, baby!
Herein lies my info-dump on dehumanization in medical (read: clinical) practice. We go through Haque &b Waytz's functional and nonfunctional causes and also some very valid counterpoints from Kalina Christoff's paper.
AND, as a bit of ADHDer magic, this whole thing ended up dove-tailing into articles on burnout, so I get to info dump about that topic next!! Woot!
