> patient-centered care can have different definitions nope, it has one definition, and that's to minimize the harm done. that's how if veers away from harm reduction, which is a utilitarian idea, and the current widest practice in medical morality. harm minimization treats the individual rather than tackling the problem with a bunch of practices that may not even work. you specifically treat the patient, or in other words the root cause. it requires you to be open to dropping utilitarianism for something greater and more accurate. "don't covet thy neighbor's wife" doesn't need a religious text, don't fuck your neighbor's wife because it causes mental harm that may lead to physical harm. wow. how easy.
