Dr Mahesh Balsekar | The Art of Medical Practice: How Doctors Become Healers | FREE Series

Dr. Mahesh Balsekar | The Art of Medical Practice: How Doctors Become Healers We are trained in medical school to diagnose diseases, interpret investigations, and treat illness. But there is another essential skill that cannot always be found in a textbook—learning how to care for a person in pain. Dr. Mahesh Balsekar reminds us that becoming a good doctor is also about learning bedside manners, empathy, communication, and the art of being present for a patient. These are skills we often learn by observing and working alongside senior doctors—watching how they speak, listen, reassure, and care. For Dr. Balsekar, the doctor–patient relationship goes beyond the consultation. His genuine interest in the wellbeing of his patients reflects a deeper understanding of medicine: healing is not limited to the time spent in the clinic. Because sometimes, what a patient remembers most is not just the treatment they received, but how their doctor made them feel when they were vulnerable. Discover the essential skills that transform medical practice into the art of healing.
