“What would it be like if we had unbroken trust across healthcare? If patients had trust in what we do and if we had faith in what our patients are doing, how amazing would that be? I think that it would save us a lot of frustration, it would save patients a lot of frustration, and we would get things done. But that’s a perfect and ideal scenario and we can only strive for that.

“Over time I think we’ve seen a shift of putting ourselves more into our social media presence rather than just simply being a professional on social media spewing facts. I think my motivation is because there’s so much distrust in our healthcare system and health professionals, we’ve seen that play out with the pandemic, and I think it’s important to show that we are human beings too. We have personalities, struggles, interests, and the same questions that everyone else has. We might have a different perspective because we have more context and we are able to interpret the signs more readily. That’s why it is important to put the two together, so that way people could relate and we can empathize with one another.” - Austin Chiang, MD MPHWelcome back to another episode of Discover More.This week’s guest is Dr. Austin Chiang (@austinchiangmd), an esteemed physician in interventional and weight loss endoscopy.
