Very interesting. Thanks Sal!

What's with the pen tool?

Nice video as always, although the volume was a little low on this one.

I like this. :-D

Khan as a doctor would remind me of Doctor Cudner in the House M.D. series.

Great video, but the guest mic volume on all of these latest videos seem to be quite low.

Mic was low, but thats why I have a volume dial on the video... -b

Which seems especially designed to put patients in a position of weakness!

Thank you Sal, a very enlightening video. I want to study medicine in the UK, and this has really gotten me thinking more about becoming a doctor, as well as helping me validate my decision.

Hey... is this Sal? I recognize the voice from the calculus videos from Khan Academy!!

I love the Khan academy but I am very disappointed in this video. It adds no value what so ever. Dr. Abraham Verghese needs to may be donate his time and practice medicine in a third world country, may be he will not be so full of himself anymore. I want my 8 minutes and 48 seconds back please.

I think this is valid for nurses as well. As the required documentation increases, it's easy to justify spending less and less time with patients, but it's an exchange that has importance for both participants. The healthcare personnel (doctor, nurse, whoever) gains information, and the patient feels validated like you said.

What's with the low volume
I had headphones and yet I had to turn the AC off and move into the other room

I LOVE this video so much, I wish there was more visual engagement.

I recently (August 2023) read the novel by Dr. Abraham Verghese - " The Covenant of Water" - an excellent book, a must read - an Oprah's Book Club pick too.
