I was ecstatic when I had the opportunity to meet her in person for the first time as a 2nd year medical student (see post HERE ), and even before then, she was the first person I ever highlighted in my Minority Women in Osteopathic Medicine section (that post can be found HERE ).

Together, these two phenomenal guests help us understand the structural and individual challenges of Indigenous peoples in academic medicine, public health, and beyond. It notably creates a burden of proof for Indigenous trainees to prove their identity, which can provide additional stress during application and interview cycles.

We are a collective profession of high-earning and driven individuals. Individuals still pursue real estate over stocks, or in parallel, because the stock market is historically more volatile than real estate, making real estate a safer investment during economically uncertain times. I understand the incentive, sure. Remember that.

In day-to-day practice, It’s hard to imagine providing excellent hospice or palliative care services without access to a team social worker. And I think that’s when I got hooked on how do we improve care, in my case again, for kids and families, but also for us, the providers. I can figure out how to provide care in this way.

And one of the things was, “You’re telling us stuff we already know”, and also, “I’m going to critique you in that you didn’t provide any solutions.” We can train medical students and residents about geriatrics without geriatricians. I don’t think you should. I really don’t.

I must admit, though, sometimes it just feels off… inauthentic, as if it’s not a genuine desire to improve our lives as health care providers, but rather a metric to check off or a desire to improve productivity and billing by making the plight of workers a little less miserable. Individuals had no control. And Covid was just.

And I think the crisis that we’re in right now in healthcare delivery, the idea of laying down my badge, I think that’s maybe a metaphor for being a sheriff, but what about being a healthcare provider?

I am wondering whether it’s the conversations and preparation that’s primary care providers and outpatient providers are having with a lot of these patients and families to either prevent an ICU admission or potentially address their goals, such that they don’t go into the ICU. So, that part was not surprising.

To provide context, we are joined by Karen Steinhauser, a social scientist at Duke who has been studying spirituality for years (and published one of the most cited papers in palliative care on factors considered important at the end of life , as well as one of my favorite qualitative papers to give to research trainees ).

Raj: It was indeed very, very gradual, and the seeds were sown when I was a medical student. And then there are a number of groups that go out in vans and cars and go out into the surrounding community of Kerala to provide care for patients who are in their homes. Was it that thunderclap moment?

This week we’ve invited three guests to share their stories about storytelling that’s written for healthcare providers. For example, and not to criticize medical students, but sometimes you get an M1 or M2 writing about burnout in physicians, and sometimes I’m like, okay, that’s a harder piece to write about.

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. In the individual clinical encounter, that’s a lot of what we do. It’s challenging.
