The thread was captured on Twitter by Carlos Velios, a doctor specializing in intensive care medicine.
“The system is focused on measurable outcomes and costs. This often means that professionals feel squeezed by the demand for results, unable to dedicate the necessary time to patients and their families.” With this phrase, intensive care physician Carlos Velios condemned lack of humanization which is experienced daily in health centers.
Many patients who come for consultation do not feel together when they are confronted difficult clinical diagnosis hey Complex medical tests. Many of them end up experiencing traumatic situations in which they feel “abused” by some health professionals.
The doctor believes that “the system does not encourage people to feel, hear and understand together. Because if Privacy, Dignity and Wellbeing What is missing in our patients is foundation, even though great diagnoses and treatments have been made. He believes it is time. people center: “patient. family. professional” and that “the system is not a constraint”.
To continue because the system does not encourage people to feel, listen and understand together.
Because if the intimacy, dignity and well-being of our patients are not taken care of, what is missing is foundation, even if great diagnoses and treatments are made.— Carlos Velaios (@cvelayos) 11 September 2022
Reflect to humanize healthcare
In his opinion expressed in this extensive thread (in which he includes the experience of a 68-year-old patient without his glasses, who waits for the test dressed only in a skimpy nightgown), Carlos Velios assures that “Professionals are very valuable” A system where people blur. “Small things tarnish” great stories“, he says aloud.
Intensive advocates “reflect” humanize healthcareA task that “seems to be pending and urgent”, explains another health professional, in which you should never forget that “the patient in front of you is a person who is also ill”.
He asks with a small voice: Shouldn’t I have gone to the operation room already? I am pending a bone marrow tap and…
“Now we tell you! Reports are late today!!” Interrupts most edge.
And they leave her on the couch with a serum and lie down more.

Humanization: A Subject in Medical Degree
In a previous reflection, the therapist advocated engaging in medical school a subject in which doctors of the future are taught “Humanizing” the profession, “It is a subject that must be taught,” he said, “it is a choice that must be lived up to, an example that must be set and the foundation to be laid in the early period.”
There is an opinion that many colleagues and professors share and they also want to emphasize that “the same” Humanization is necessary Then while practicing medicine”.
