Dave DeBronkart Quotes

As I’ve met clinicians in my travels, time after time I’ve been inspired to hear why people went into medicine: to apply their way-above-average minds (and hearts) to work that’s beyond most people’s capacity, and perhaps save a few lives Picture Quote #1

The baby boomer surge is forcing society to face decisions about costs - and particularly what is valuable. It’s senseless for clinicians and governments to bear these choices alone; a sad effect of needless paternalism is that it places a false burden on responsible people Picture Quote #1

Me being me, I put the numbers from my hospital’s website from my tumor sizes into a spreadsheet Picture Quote #1

In other industries, value is defined by the ultimate stakeholder - the one who benefits, or not, from the service. We should do the same in medicine Picture Quote #1

$Diagnosed incidentally with stage IV, grade 4 metastatic renal cell carcinoma, I had bone metastases in my femur (which eventually fractured), ulna, and cranium; five metastases in my lungs; and muscle metastases in my thigh and tongue. Yet six months after diagnosis, my treatment ended: I’ve not had a drop of anything since Picture Quote #1$

Too often, hospital staff are incented by management to get work done without worrying about care, and clinicians are too often not even trained to think about care Picture Quote #1

One of the most stubborn barriers to patient empowerment is the cultural assumption that since the way professionals learned was hard, you must need to be really smart, and you need to be taught in a carefully thought out, methodical sequence Picture Quote #1

Value in medicine depends on information - as I said in ‘Let Patients Help,’ ‘People perform better when they’re informed better.’ It follows that to make patients and families more effective in care, they need to know more Picture Quote #1

Ever tried to get sleep in a hospital? Ever wonder if anyone even taught them what care is? Some hospitals are great, but some sure aren’t Picture Quote #1

The most underutilized resource in all of health care is the patient Picture Quote #1

Patients know what patients want to know Picture Quote #1

I am here on behalf of all the patients that I have ever met, all the ones I haven’t met. This is about letting patients play a more active role... in fixing health care Picture Quote #1
