    Summary: We continue our series Dr. Anne Marie Liebel, founder of Health Communication Partners. We delve into the pressures faced by clinicians to be perfect and resolve issues quickly, exploring how this impacts patient care. Dr. Anne Liebel discusses the cultural legacy of paternalistic medicine and the deficit perspective that assumes patients are lesser than clinicians. Dr. Raj Sundar suggests redefining terms like "vulnerable" to "historically exploited" to enable self-definition. Our conversation highlights the power dynamics in patient-physician relationships, the critical role of language in shaping thoughts and behaviors, and the importance of shared decision-making. We emphasize that patients' language and culture should be valued and discuss the need to shift from one-size-fits-all approaches to individualized care. Reflecting on communication, we consider the physical, emotional, psychological, and cultural aspects crucial for effective patient interactions.
