So I have thought about this for months, maybe years since your 2016, cycle blog, but we have picked Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen. This delineation of you can use the same medication for one indication without training. Eric: And why Under Pressure. Don’t worry about their alcohol use or drug use. Give some pleasure.

So I think as palliative care clinicians, we use narrative as we try to understand more about the persons that we’re caring for and their families. Been in the hospital four times, vented, been told the story to her family, she won’t live. And so I really gain that and I love the chorus words that she uses in this song.

We’ve also love to hear from you on twitter and facebook your own experiences writing for the medical world (and please include links!) And so, it’s about going live on stage in the medical audience, and everything from the whiteboard in the surgery room saying, “Here’s the lineup. This is Eric Widera.

And in response, the family or patient looked at you like you were from another planet? Coming off as rote and scripted during a serious illness conversation can have a similar off-putting impact on patients and families.

As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) So most of our medical schools have simulation centers. I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way.

Back then we were a blog and Ken’s post, which is titled, Survival from Severe Sepsis: The infection is cured, but all is not well, is still one of our most viewed posts on Jerry Powell. It was this slow build, I would say. Julien: He basically had an end of life care discussion with this patient. Alex: What happens when people survive?

I remember walking through San Francisco Airport with Bob, we just happened to be there at similar times, and saying, “Eric and I are thinking about starting a blog.” Then, it was like, well, it does as well as, and now, better than humans passing the medical boards, passing the law boards, doing great on the SAT, all that stuff.

I came from a family where you didn’t write things down, somebody could find them and hold you to them or all of that kind of stuff. There’s a little paranoia in the family for good reason. I was like, I’m fascinated when I read medical books and they’re quoting patients these long paragraphs.

For example, is reluctance to take on more responsibility at work or relocate because you feel inadequate or is it because of genuine concern about the impact on your family? You would think that after several years of a number of career successes, the imposter syndrome would have abated for me, but rather I found it getting worse!

Published 2/5/19, updated 6/19/25) Rowdiest audience ever (at a medical conference at least). It’s now so common that more than half of all doctors report symptoms, with medical students , residents , and even senior clinicians feeling pushed to the brink. Wildest keynote! I give you Dr. Pamela Wible. Think about it.
