This blog is created and hosted by John Henning Schumann.
I am a general internist and medical educator at the University of Chicago.
I work as a primary care doctor for adults on the south side of Chicago, and I train residents and medical students in both Internal Medicine and Medical Ethics. I have served in medical center administration working to improve patients’ experiences at hospitals in Boston and Chicago. I serve as faculty co-chair of the university’s human rights program.
The goals of GlassHospital are as follows:
1. To provide transparency on the workings of medical practice and the complexities of hospital care.
2. To illuminate the emotional and cognitive aspects of caregiving and decision-making from the perspective of an active primary care physician.
3. To offer behind-the-scenes portraits of hospital sanctums and the people that inhabit them.
I live in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago with my wife, Sarah-Anne, and our two children.
