She shares the subject of her TED Talk “Patients Are Hurt by Kind Lies.” (36:00) Patient satisfaction is based on the idea that “happy patients have better outcomes,” but this is not always the case. (44:30) Physicians hesitate to counsel their patients because of the way funding works for hospitals. (45:15) It’s a sick-care problem. (47:00) There is fear and pushback on the ideas around shaming. (50:00) Many doctors’ offices avoid weighing patients because it supposedly “shames” a person. However, many treatments require knowing the patient’s weight for proper prescription dosage or treatment. Doctors’ hands are often tied because of the limited time they are allowed to spend with a patient.
