Care Philosophy

"My Care philosophy on patient care is deeply influenced by the words of Dr. William Osler and Maya Angelou. Osler once said, "It is much more important to know what sort of patient has a disease than what sort of disease a patient has,” highlighting the importance of understanding the individual behind the illness. Maya Angelou's insight, "People will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel," underscores the importance of empathy and connection in medical practice."
