Patients = Students

What if you stopped calling “them” Patients?

What if you called “them” Students.

Patients = Students.

“You’ve got 15 patients waiting to see you”

Becomes:

“You’ve got 15 students waiting to see you.”

Does that feel different? Did your posture and attitude shift at all when you read the “student” version of that sentence?

The moment you see a patient as your student, one who has come to be instructed by you, then you step into the position of being a Teacher.

And a Teacher’s role is to educate: educare. To draw out.

Your job is to empower your students by drawing out of them the wisdom, insights and mindset shifts they need to walk in total health: Spirit, soul and body.

The sickness/disease/medical crisis is just an opportunity for you to spend some time empowering and collaborating with your students.

Patients = students.
