David recounts a transformative moment from his medical mission trip to Nicaragua, where he cradled an infant named Jose with a cleft lip and palate. We explore the emotions, the mother’s heartfelt gesture, and the profound impact of this experience. Don’t miss this inspiring discussion on the connections between doctors, patients, and life’s important lessons.

David Alfery is a cardiac anesthesiologist.

He discusses his book, Saving Grace: What Patients Teach Their Doctors about Life, Death, and the Balance in Between.

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With a growing physician shortage, increasing burnout, and declining patient satisfaction, a dramatic change is needed to make health care more efficient and effective and bring back the joy of practicing medicine. AI-driven ambient clinical intelligence promises to help by revolutionizing patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
