This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. In this perspective piece, a resident physician discusses the pressure to provide care as quickly as possible and how this pressure conflicts with the goal of providing humanistic care. The lack of time to connect and empathize with patients compromises care and leads to physician burnout. Taking a moment to pause, connect, and empathize may be the most time efficient aspect of any encounter.
