Changing model of life with disease to disease with life
@Federico_Monaco Thanks so much for all your work. I’m really interested in the data collection and practices you all are doing in regards to how we understand disease. I work as a doctor in the ER, and can tell you from training that we percieve health as the absence of disease. But one thing we have been trying to develop at Woodbine is very similar to the work you are doing. Changing the model of health to think of disease as a part of us, be it our high blood pressure, our cancer, or our depression. And that while treatments can be helpful, we are not striving for a world in which all “disease” is removed from us. In fact, every day our bodies are closer to dying, so we cna never be free from disease. Especially in relation to how we treat the elderly, in the US, they are socially shunned. So how can we reshape the way we understand disease, understand care, and create a world where we are all “living” a beautiful death. I would love to chat more, maybe set up a time for a call to discuss possibilities of creating more collaborative work!
