Notes on Learning Ethics and Compassion
[By Staff Reporters]
According to a report cited by the New York Times, January 29th 2009, the journal Academic Medicine [AM] published its findings on medical ethics and professional compassion in the academic teaching environment.
Traditional [Last-Gen] Mindset
Unfortunately, it often seems a negative truism that good doctor bedside manner is something you are born with, rather than a learned behavior. Think Gregory House; MD.
The Academic Medicine Report
However, a new study published in this month’s issue of Academic Medicine seems to prove that effort does matter, and that compassionate learning is possible. Even established physicians and clinicians can be re-inspired to adopt new humanistic skills, becoming better teachers and role models in the process.
Assessment
Will increased transparency in medicine and emerging collaborative health 2.0 initiatives change this traditional point-of-view?

Who needs a doctor?
InfoMed.com was founded by Dr. Joseph Bentivegna and Tom O’Keefe, as an intelligent healthcare application through which a series of questions (infoMeds) provides patients with personalized medical information specific to them and their symptoms.
So, let’s cut out the bad manners with sofware? Maybe even the MD, too?
