Episode Synopsis

In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Kimberly McBennett to explore a different kind of harm in healthcare, one we rarely talk about, but patients never forget.

We have built systems to track medical errors but where are the systems to track compassion gaps?

These are the moments when care becomes mechanical, when pain is overlooked, and when patients feel unseen. This may not show up on the chart but leaves lasting impressions.

Together, we reflect on how compassion can't be left to chance. It must be a part of how we design deliver, and measure care. Because the secret to great care is love, and love begins with understanding.
