5 Things That Can Affect Your Team's Psychological Safety

Voltaire's quote, "The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease," offers a thought-provoking perspective on medicine during the 18th century. He suggests that the body's innate healing capabilities were often complemented by doctors' efforts to provide comfort and reassurance rather than solely focusing on curing the illness.

These are my reflections on Voltaire's viewpoint:

1) They recognized the psychological aspect of medicine alongside the physical.

2) They highlighted the importance of our presence and care in enhancing a patient's well-being, even when healing primarily stems from the body's natural processes.

3) They acknowledged the limitations of medicine in that era and emphasized the significant roles of the human body and mind in the healing process.

While modern medicine has made substantial advancements, the fundamental message remains relevant today: empathy, effective communication, and trust are integral components of recovery, working hand in hand with medical interventions.

Compassion isn’t just an added touch in —it’s at the heart of everything we do. Every kind word, gentle gesture, and moment of patience can make a world of difference to someone in need. It's not always easy, especially on the hardest days, but it’s what sets true caregivers apart. Compassion fuels trust, healing, and connection in ways medicine alone cannot. In for others with , we honor both their humanity and our own.

To my Healthcare Professionals, I worked with a patient whose father was nearing the end of his life, suffering from failing organs and multiple wounds. His daughter frequently sent him back to the hospital, to the point where he was placed under observation rather than being admitted.

She confided in me that she knew he was dying, but she wasn’t ready to say goodbye. She expressed that, while he needed her, she also needed him.

Additionally, she shared her fear of becoming homeless once his Medicare and Medicaid benefits ceased after his passing. As his full-time caregiver, supported by state resources, she faced the reality that the financial assistance would stop when he died, and she would need to find a job quickly. However, she felt overwhelmed by the thought of building a resume and attending interviews, as her father required 24-hour care.

In that moment, it was crucial for me to show compassion and understanding rather than tell her there was nothing more we could do. Judging her or suggesting she find a job was not the solution; her priority was caring for her family, and my priority was to provide compassion.
