You’re a disgruntled medical student. You’re thinking about dropping out of medical school. And so I went and I kind of reached out and found that they were doing a one week training, multidisciplinary training, which they offered me a place on as a medical student. But I want to go back in time now.

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. They look at the signs and symptoms, they do a physical exam, maybe some lab tests or some imaging. Amber: Norm is, yeah. Would she want CPR?

So one end of the spectrum is somebody who’s just a total novice, and it’s clearly very awkward and they’re not used to talking to people in a clinical encounter, like a medical student or something like that. Stop thinking the physical exam or the differential diagnose, whatever, and just be there.

So it’s a five component scale and it includes slow gate speed, weak and grip strength, exhaustion, unintentional weight loss, and low physical activity, which I really like thinking about those components.

It’ll come out in these deviant behaviors, just like you mentioned earlier, where maybe we stave off seeing that patient, send the medical student instead or delay that visit till the end of the day. Keri: What we can’t acknowledge within ourselves or say in words, it’ll come out in behaviors. We’ll act it out.

But everybody might, when I was a chaplain educator, I taught medical students as summer chaplain interns because everyone needs to know how to be able to recognize spiritual distress. Some more assessment also potentially some interventional around total pain, including spiritual suffering that actually may worsen physical pain.

Who is a long time teacher in the joint medical program, now Emeritus. Joint medical program is between UC Berkeley and UCSF. I was a medical student there some 25 years ago or so. And that poetry has helped in the process of both psychological and even sometimes physical healing.

Bill 16:55 First of all, I just have to go back to Dax, because Dax in 1973 is when I first came out here as a senior medical student and met Al Johnson. And it bothers me how the nurses are there, the physical therapists are there, some of the social workers are there. And I followed that story ever since. Eric 46:49 Yeah.

Something that I’d very little experience of having been a medical student in Pakistan. We are really trained to treat it as a purely physical sensation that you can rate on a scale of zero to 10 with specific tools. And it is as much an emotion that one feels as it is a physical sensation.
