Dr. Burgart pulls the curtain aside on the House of Medicine, revealing how injustice and politics impact patients – equipping you to discuss complex issues with wit, confidence, and clarity.
Zed Zha, MD (she/her) joined me in conversation to discuss her new book Consented: A Doctor’s Call to End Medical Violence and Reclaim Patient Autonomy.
Consent is far more than a signature on a form. Violations of patient autonomy are frequent in medicine, causing irreparable harm to patients. Yet such violations are normalized in medical culture.
Dr. Zha and I share a passion for ending violence against patients, beginning with a deep reassessment of and commitment to genuine, voluntary consent. In this interview, Dr. Zha shares her evolution in medicine from novice to attending, trying to resist the indoctrination of medicine, but after years of training, finding she must fight to re-humanize herself and her patients. With vulnerability and grace, Dr. Zha shows us that a better version of medical care is possible.
You can get your copy of Consented wherever books are sold. I like to support my local book store through Bookshop:
