But for medicine, I think there was this intrinsic desire to help at the beginning, to become a sort of \u201cSaint-Bernard\u201d! My personal journey was original. I started in the Basque Country and it was the unstable political situation that prevailed then that brought me to Switzerland. First, I was a nurse at the Prangins Psychiatric Hospital and then at the Psychiatric Hospital of Bel-Air. I then continued my medical studies in Geneva. This initial training as a nurse was central in my conception of the profession: it taught me humanity in my relationship with patients and in the management of healthcare teams, as well as respect for each person\u2019s work.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0678df9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0678df9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-19333db\" data-id=\"19333db\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d66379 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d66379\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cepco.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cunningham-HD-3-200x300-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-570\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e115c5\" data-id=\"1e115c5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b3e515 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b3e515\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDr. Gr\u00e9gory Cunningham (GC): My parents are both doctors, but I was predestined for a career as a pianist. But during my last teenage years, I developed a special fascination for the functioning of the human body. So I started my medical studies. It was only by studying and practicing medicine that it became a vocation, particularly orthopedic surgery with a special emphasis on shoulder surgery: I found it to be a practical and creative field, both in applicative aspect of the profession and through scientific research.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8380c1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8380c1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is often said that young people are less motivated than before \u2026 What do you think?

I see, however, that there is a certain demotivation for medicine in the newer generation, because the job of the young intern becomes more and more non-rewarding. Theoretically, overtime work is more controlled and better compensated, but in practice, this remains questionable. Restraints in physicians\u2019 autonomy and administrative burden are increasing, even though paradoxically, there are more and more administrators. What is certain is, this creates a gap between the doctor and the patient, which widens more and more. Based on my experience, I can estimate that an intern (in any case) spends 70% of his time doing administrative work in various forms. Administrative procedures are also becoming a real burden for research. Submitting a simple study protocol sometimes becomes longer and more difficult than carrying out the study itself.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82a7db1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82a7db1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>JA<\/strong> \u2013 I also think that medicine has become more bureaucratic. We live in a society that is obsessed with the desire for certainty and insurance of all kinds. You have to fill out forms all the time, hide behind a computer rather than spending time with your patient. It\u2019s a shame because the doctor-patient relationship is the basis of medicine. But it is difficult to fight against this societal evolution that we see everywhere. The world becomes managerial, and so does medicine: we treat patients as a team, we delegate tasks and, consequently, the responsibilities of each physician are diluted. The problem is that teamwork has become a goal in itself rather than a means to an end.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45f548a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"45f548a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do you see the doctor-patient relationship in your daily practice?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb3c3a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb3c3a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>GC<\/strong> \u2013 Today, patients access to medical information has been extremely facilitated by the media, especially the internet. It\u2019s fascinating to see what patients know about their health and how often that knowledge makes communication easier. More and more patients come to me with specific questions about the type of equipment that will be implanted or the technique I will use to repair their rotator cuff, etc. Some have even viewed online videos of the procedure. Of course, the phenomenon can be double-edged, putting us in a position of being just a simple service provider. Patients can promote medical tourism, by consulting multiple doctors until they get the treatment they consider the most fitting for them. It\u2019s up to us to know where and when to set boundaries.

Nowadays, we have to respond to patients via e-mail (I have three email addresses \u2026), by telephone and WhatsApp, which you take with you even when you go to the bathroom! The point is not to deny that technology has brought real progress, including the possibilities of continuing education for doctors. But it also comes with its share of problems. It is supposed to empower the patient, to put him at the \u201ccenter\u201d of the decision-making process, as it is expected based on today\u2019s theory of patient care. What a laudable intention. Before, the patient was the point of \u201cinterest\u201d. The idea of making him the \u201ccenter\u201d of care came later. But with the excessive demands of \u201cteamwork\u201d and its constraints, the direct relationship with the patient often often becomes secondary.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e0d72a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2e0d72a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Are you concerned about the future of medicine?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d2bccd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d2bccd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>GC<\/strong> \u2013 I think there is something to be worried about. The liberal nature of our profession is increasingly under threat: We are in a period of budget cuts at all levels, and doctors are easy targets because they are too busy and disunited to effectively defend their common interests, unlike drug or insurance companies. If we want to remain interlocutors on an equal footing with the insurance lobby, clinics and hospitals \u2013 not to mention an increasingly interventionist federal council \u2013 we have no choice: we must be united.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1b2b61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1b2b61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>JA<\/strong> \u2013 I\u2019m not worried, but the future of medicine will be the one that doctors will want it to be! They are the one who hold this power, based on all the polls done on networks. But for this to work, we must agree to work together and fund professional structures to defend ourselves politically. One of the things that worry me the most is the fact that there is unhealthy competition between doctors today. When the medical corps is attacked, everyone goes up to the front, certainly. But beyond these brilliant collective actions, the profession lacks cohesion and engages in a fratricidal war between \u201cegos\u201d, magnified by the question of salaries of each specialist. Physicians must realize that their strength can only be exercised by putting their energies together. They are the ones who hold the key to reshape their profession and impose their vision of a professional and fair medical practice for all.
