Andy Robinson, MD (The Caring Perspective)

One question opened up a world of understanding for Dr. Andy Robinson early in his career: “What do you feel we should know that we don't?”

It was asked by social worker to a reticent patient, who then exclaimed how nobody knew who we WAS; they only knew who he is now...a patient who was dying.

This question and the response it created has stuck with Dr. Andy over the decades and underscored the importance of finding out not just what a patient has, but who they are.

Dr. Andy has been an immensely important friend of the podcast, referring several of his patients as guests on the show, and we are deeply indebted to his kindness, understanding, and shared purpose of doing whatever he can to help others, especially at the end of life.
