She described what symptoms she struggles with and what her current goals are with regards to managing her illness. It is clear, concise and might be very helpful to doctors. She said that she has only tried once so far, but the initial response was very positive.

Well-known health tech and patient advocate, Susannah Fox, told The Medical Futurist that \u003Cem>the juxtaposition of professional and personal lives is what grabs her when she sees the #patientCV conversation.\u003C\u002Fem> “We are encouraged to publicly list our work-related skill sets, such as in our CVs or on LinkedIn, but rarely our personal health skills. By owning that hard-won experience as patients or as caregivers, we own our power”, she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, Fallow believes everyone should be cautious when introducing things to physicians that are changing how ‘patienting’ – the way she calls the activity of being a patient – is done by the doctor because it could both help and do harm. The patient-doctor communication is a delicate rapport and needs to be treated with respect. On the other hand, she thinks that the Patient CV should become a core part of any healthcare plan; as 99.9 percent of the work in managing illness is done by the patient and not the medics. We cannot agree more. It’s a great tool for empowering patients and showing healthcare professionals that being a patient is not a passive condition but an active participation. It’s an excellent idea, and we hope to hear more about it in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #eee; border-top: 4px solid #444;\" cellpadding=\"10px\">\n\u003Ctbody>\n\u003Ctr>\n\u003Ctd style=\"width: 100%;\">\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>At The Medical Futurist, we are building a community for making a bold vision about the future of healthcare reality today.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fembed\u002FFIbMejImnxs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\u003Cp>If you’d like to support this mission, we invite you to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002Fthemedicalfuturist\">join The Medical Futurist Patreon Community\u003C\u002Fa>.
