Dr DeAngelis had a wonderful story for the graduates today at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine. She tells of an elderly wise woman of a tribe. There is a young boy trying to stump the 'Wise One' and she kindly responds.
Dr DeAngelis also told the graduates "Never let anyone call you a 'Provider' You are not a 'provider', You are a Doctor who puts the patient above corporations, establishments, Ins Co. etc...The patient comes before any of this..." -Beautiful advice to the graduates from -Catherine D. DeAngelis, MD: University Distinguished Service Professor of Emerita, professor of pediatrics emerita at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, professor of health policy and management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and editor in chief emerita of JAMA.
