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? They look at the signs and symptoms, they do a physical exam, maybe some lab tests or some imaging. I love this song.

Raj: It was indeed very, very gradual, and the seeds were sown when I was a medical student. What she called total pain, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual, and she started addressing it. We know that this is necessary in theory, we know that health is not only absence of disease, but physical, social, and mental wellbeing.

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. It’s just not. Ishwaria 43:08 Exactly.

Eric 01:44 And we’re going to be talking about the roots of palliative care, and I think importantly, not just looking back, but what does that mean for our future as hospice and palliative care providers. You’re a disgruntled medical student. You’re thinking about dropping out of medical school.

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. That’s a great question.

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.

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 ).

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. And I think limiting the visits really triggered a deep sense of abandonment in him from a provider that he felt attached to.

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’s not the same, but it does provide information. And I followed that story ever since. Eric 33:05 Well, let me ask you this. They’re too busy.

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.

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. They blame the medical student. Tell her she is a difficult student and then preserve the career of the guy who’s the surgeon bringing in the money.

Detaining individuals in overcrowded, unsanitary facilities without timely access to medical care directly endangers their lives. Children and families are experiencing severe psychological distress, toxic stress, and long-term harm to physical and mental health due to forced separations and the constant threat of deportation.
