Two long-term IBD patients, Rachel and Nigel, share their experiences and perspectives on living with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).
In Episode 5 of Wrestling the Octopus, Nigel and I discuss our definition of ”good medicine”. What does this term mean to us as patients – and how might it differ from how healthcare professionals define it?
Should ”good medicine” take in all the softer clinical skills that go beyond academic knowledge, or is the focus on getting the right drug to the right patient?
As ever, we welcome your feedback on this episode. And don't forget that we're always glad to hear your suggestions for future topics!
