Dr. Karl VanDevender: Empathy and the Doctor-Patient Relationship (Part 2)

Dr. Karl VanDevender is one of the most empathic doctors you'll ever meet. In fact, he's one of the most empathic peoplethat Alan Alda has ever met! Dr. VanDevender has been practicing medicine for forty years and in that time he has learned some interesting ways to connect with his patients, resulting in surprisingly positive results. Dr. VanDevender has a lot to teach us about the doctor-patient relationship, and how it can lead to better health. Clear+Vivid with Alan Alda is devoting a special series of three shows to doctor-patient relations and how better understanding can be achieved through empathy and deeper listening. This is part 2 of 3. Part 3 will be available on December 8th.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid
