What a fantastic presentation! Dave is a compelling speaker who we should be listening to for patient care! Keep it up Dave!!

[@emilylhotka4225]

Wonderful, I think we are all ready to listen and really hear patients!

This was a very thought provoking speech, Dr. Moen. I feel like this topic is discussed enough in our communities, let alone in healthcare settings. From the few conversations that my family members have had with doctors, they mostly pertained to medications, and whether they have made any improvements mobility wise. When I asked my grandfather, who has had some problems with his hips, about if he has gone to the doctor recently, he said no. I followed up by asking why not, and he replied that the visits he's had just involved giving him a prescription. So based on that example, I agree with Dr. Moen on the notion that establishing trust and belief with a patient is very important. From my grandfather's example, I believe that if the doctors that he visited would have taken longer to view what was bothering him, there would have been better results. The beneficence that is contained in Dr. Moen's speech is found when viewing how simple conversation could even show improvement. A doctor that takes to time to examine what is truly bothering a patient, will benefit that patient the most effectively because they will view the doctor as someone who cares about them.

Brilliant, inspirational and gives hope to the future of health care!

[@mvlax08]

A gripping personal story to go along with great healthcare insights!

I went to the ER yesterday and gave the doctor a lecture on why the American people distrust the medical profession after the last three years. I knew everything he would say before he came into the room (all dismissive).

This should be uploaded by the TEDtalksDirector channel, it's very very good.

[@billmiller9145]

What a great talk, listened to it several times. How could this possibly get 2 dislikes?

[@MarkBehl1]

Wonderful presentation. One of the best I've seen.

[@starr99]

Exceptional Tedx Talk.

[@susanmercurio1060]

I am changing primary doctors because I was homeless for four years and I needed a letter of referral to a apartment building. I asked my doctor for a letter since I had been going to her for all that time. She was much more worried about Virtue Signalling than getting me off the streets. Also, she said that she was only concerned with "medical issues." Her patients are walking collections of "medical issues," I guess, and where is the care for the Whole Person?

[@virginiamoss7045]

Nice talk. It's now been over 9 years and still nothing has changed. If anything, it's gotten worse. There is no patient-centered care no matter how much they may profess it to be so or want it to be so. Is it hopeless?

[@nicolewiemer9096]

Amazing ..this is so good!

[@MissPiggy2350]

Excellent, as usual.

Great. My problem is I almost never meet doctors like him. It is all too clear they have not been trained to communicate. How about even a weekend workshop in psychology?

[@EnligtenUs]

wow

[@susanmercurio1060]

11:52 Yes, Dr Moen, but you're still talking about changing *the patient's* belief system when what you need to work on is *the doctor's* belief system.
