Today’s topic: The Doctor Still Cares.
We live in an age of click-driven cures, AI-generated advice, and endless wellness trends that promise more than they deliver. In this storm of information, it’s easy to lose sight of something quieter—and more essential: the human heart at the center of medicine.
I’m a physician. I treat cancer. But often, what my patients need most isn’t a treatment plan. It’s to be heard.
The Doctor Still Cares is my reflection on what that listening means. It’s a window into the small, sacred moments that happen behind clinic doors—when a patient asks a question they’ve never voiced before. When they admit something they’re ashamed of. When they tell you what really matters, not just what hurts.
In this essay, I’m not selling a cure. I’m not defending the healthcare system, either. I’m reminding you that good medicine still exists—and it still depends on real human connection.
Medicine isn’t just diagnostics and data. It’s presence. It’s noticing what isn’t being said. It’s remembering that the person in front of you isn’t just a case, but a story.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your doctor saw you, truly saw you, or if you’ve been lucky enough to experience that kind of care—you’ll understand what this piece is about.

Because the best kind of care has nothing to do with protocols—and everything to do with presence. The doctor still cares.
