Prepared to be inspired! “A Doctor’s Touch” is a manifesto, a call to action delivered with gentle strength. Dr. Verghese presents the case for returning the human touch to medicine. He states: “I joke, but I only half joke that if you come to one of our hospitals missing a limb, no one will believe you until they get a CAT Scan, MRI or orthopedic consult.”
In “A Doctor’s Touch,” Dr. Verghese illustrates the importance role of the physical
exam. Off stage, Dr. Verghese leads the Stanford 25, an initiative that emphasizes
physical exam skills. He is the “Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor
and Vice Chair for the Theory & Practice of Medicine, as well as the Internal Medicine
Clerkship Director at Stanford University School of Medicine” (https://stanfordmedicine25.stanford.edu/about.html ).
Dr.Verghese also has ties to Texas! After serving in Tennessee as an infectious disease
physician (see My Own Country), Dr. Verghese was Chief, Infectious Diseases at Texas Tech El Paso. He stayed at
Texas Tech University School of Medicine as a tenured Professor of Medicine, then
Distinguished Professor, from 1991 to 2002. In 2002, he went to UTHSCSA as Director
of the Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics and Professor of Medicine. In 2007,
Dr. Verghese accepted a position as Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.
