The Platinum Rule is the Key to Unlocking Better Care

In this second episode in a two part series featuring Dr. Harvey Chochinov, we’re talking about The Platinum Rule.  Providing care through the lens of the end of life provider doesn’t fully recognize the personhood of the patient.  Dr. Chochinov teaches us about The Platinum Rule -  treating others the way they want to be treated, instead of how we would want to be treated if the situation was ours.
