“Guess it's not just all gizmo's and gadget’s.”
Pure Genius, Pilot October 27, 2016
“Tell us please, what treatment in an emergency is administered by ear?…”
I met his gaze and I did not blink. "Words of comfort," I said to my father.”
― Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone
This past week we were given a preview of the future of hospital care with the new CBS drama, “Pure Genius”. The first show introduces the characters and the futuristic “Bunker Hill Hospital”. This hospital is filled with “gizmos and gadgets” and with information management central to the drama. This hospital seems almost real!
There are real organizations that recognize and promote “healing hospitals”. It is what I see in hospitals wanting to connect with real people and real stories. It is found in the efforts of “Schwartz Rounds” and the Duke Divinity School.
Maybe the good news is we know the other dimensions of healing even when we are disappointed and frustrated by the technology. The bad news is that we have not widely shared the real stories.
