Listen "Intro to Connection Culture | #28"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of the Restore Healthcare Podcast, Dr. Kang explores the link between connection and healthcare. Sharing a story from medical school, she reflects on the loss of a patient and the chaotic process of grief among medical professionals. In medicine’s culture, blame often leads to perfectionism and relentless striving. But we’re not meant to be perfect—and there’s real freedom in embracing that truth.Western medicine, shaped by religious performance culture, often values measurement over connection. But what if we nurtured connection instead? Tools like Holy Spirit guidance, connection assessments, and strong communication can help build safer environments where professionals learn and grow without fear. Performance-driven cultures don’t deliver whole-person care—connection does. Innovation, growth, and true healing flow when we live from who I am is who I am becoming, not from perfectionism.Chapters:0:00 - Intro1:00 - Craving connection2:44 - Med-school story8:10 - Patient loss aftermath9:10 - Requires perfection11:00 - Medicine and Religious culture12:15 - Constant measurement13:30 - Connection defined16:15 - Nurturing connection18:45 - Connection assessments19:50 - Does performance work?20:30 - Vision, value, voice22:00 - Patients need connection24:00 - Performance doesn’t work26:26 - Culture characteristics28:20 - Who I amInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/restorehealthcareproject_ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554104156850&mibextid=eQY6clTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@restorehealthcareproject?_t=8rCih8fjAH0&_r=1Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@restorehealthcareprojectWebsite - https://www.restorehealthcareproject.org/Selah Health International - https://www.selahhealthinternational.org/
