How can a clinician best help their patient? The answer seems simple. Fix their problem. But what if the problem goes beyond a diagnosis. How can a clinician best help their patient? By caring about the human being in front of them. This takes empathy. But is empathy even real? On this episode, we are joined by Dr. Larry Benz, author of Called to Care. Hear his take on empathy and what he's learned over his career as a physical therapist and business owner.

You have 10 minutes to connect with someone in front of you.

It's important. 

How do you do it?

If you want the best chance at a genuine connection, you tell a story. 

I know. Stories have become a buzzword of sorts. 

Yet, when told properly and authentically, stories are your best way to connect with someone else. That someone may be a person in front of you or many people over digital. 

For physical therapists, or actually any clinician, you have 10 minutes to connect with new patients. When a person is sitting in front of you, sharing their concerns that resulted in a visit, you MUST connect. 

On this podcast, Kindra Hall the best-selling author of Stories That Stick, shares her insights on stories. 

If you want to learn how to tell stories that resonate, connect, and ultimately make an impact, this is an episode you CANNOT miss.

It's fascinating to look back. To better understand where we are going, you must understand where we came from. Healthcare is no different. Within the context of healthcare history, physical therapy is fairly young. What lessons can we take away from the parallel of medicine, private party insurance and societal needs? Let's go over it on today's Therapy Insiders podcast. 

Business ownership is tough. In fact, it's largely a struggle with glimpses of success. It's mostly a losing proposition. So why do it? And even more so, why do so many people talk positively of it.

This is our Hot Take on realities of business that hardly get spoken about.
