The ‘lived experience’ of patients has been at the core of the art of medicine
@gorskon and is why that art is problematic. Because medicine is not merely an art - it is a science. How to marry the two makes a successful clinician. And No. it isn’t easy. -
I would say the lived experience of patients is NOT at the core of the practice of medicine, and that’s why we have these rousing discussions, Mary. That’s why whenever someone gets sick, their perspective shifts and they say “I will do this differently”

Statements like “wow now that I’m a patient (or my kid, or my spouse, or my parent) I’m going to do this differently” ending with “believe more” always rankle just a little bit. Why didn’t <<whoever>> believe in the first place?

I have had severe pain. I had pylonephitis and an induced labor with out pain medicine. I have other pains in my body. I’m cared for by a pain management doctor and psychiatrist who reassures me she believes my sensation of pain is real.

She’s doing the best that medicine is, and the way it always should be, as
@MaryFernando_ says.
