When Your Doctor Actually Cares

"Patients don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

In this video, I’m reacting to one of the most iconic scenes in medical cinema: the moment Patch Adams interrupts a clinical round to ask a simple question: "What's her name?"

As a surgeon and a recipient of the Patch Adams Award in medical school, this philosophy is the heartbeat of my practice. Technical excellence and surgical volume matter—but they aren't everything.

In this video:
• Why medicine can feel cold and clinical.
• Why connection isn't "optional" in life-or-death situations.

Most Doctors Don't Do This - Doctor Rich Does

If your surgeon told you that you only have one choice for your hysterectomy, you need to watch this. In this candid conversation, Dr. Rich and his patient reveal the "red flags" to look for when choosing a surgical specialist and why a second opinion (or third!) can be life-changing.

Many patients feel rushed into major surgery without understanding the different surgical options available to them, such as minimally invasive surgery or robotic hysterectomy. Dr. Rich breaks down his "100% Certainty Rule"—if you aren't 100% confident in your decision, you shouldn't be in the operating room.

In this video, you will learn:
• Why "only one option" is a major red flag in women’s healthcare.
• How to find a surgeon who respects your autonomy.
• The importance of patient-centered care and informed consent.
• Why your recovery starts with being 100% sure of your choice.

Don't let a doctor pressure you into a procedure you don't fully understand. It’s your body, your health, and your decision.

Is Hysterectomy Recovery Really That Long? (The Truth About Robotic Surgery)

Think a hysterectomy means months in bed? Historically, that was true—but modern technology and specialized protocols have changed the game.

In this video, Dr. Rich discusses how the combination of robotic-assisted surgery, surgical expertise, and ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols are helping patients return to their normal lives in record time. We also sit down with a patient who underwent a highly complex surgery involving a large uterus and unexpected endometriosis to hear what her recovery was actually like.

🕒 In This Video:
• The "Old" Way vs. The "New" Way: Why 2-month recoveries are becoming a thing of the past.
• The Power of Repetition: Why choosing a surgeon in the top 1% of their field matters for your outcome.
• Multimodal Pain Management: How we manage pain using nerve meds and anti-inflammatories to get 95% of patients off meds within two weeks.
• Complex Cases: A real-patient story about handling a "game-time decision" surgery involving a large mass and hidden endometriosis.
• Post-Op Results: Seeing the difference "cleaning out" the pelvis can make for long-term health.

💡 Key Takeaways on Modern Hysterectomy:
• "95% of my patients are off pain meds and ready to go back to work by their 2-week follow-up." — Dr. Rich
• Minimally Invasive: Robotic surgery allows for smaller incisions and faster healing compared to traditional "open" incisions.
• Customized Care: No two surgeries are the same. We discuss the importance of a surgeon who stays until the job is done right, no matter how long it takes.
• Patient Advocacy: If you’ve been told a recovery will take months, it may be time to look into robotic-assisted options.
