The Debrief with Jon Becker’s Post

Check out this amazing interview with Dr. Ernest Grant

From Dr. Michael Foti: "This was a beautiful episode!! It brought up for me a saying I often bring up during my talks and to my students, “Being a doctor is what you do, not who you are”! "We are just one person doing our best!" This latest episode of "Stand Up (for) Doctors!" will surely resonate with our largely physician audience! Ryan McCarthy is the Program Director, Internal Medicine Residency at Berkeley Medical Center, WVU School of Medicine. Ryan started the "Healthcare is Human" narrative medicine project during the pandemic, and recorded the TEDx talk, "Healthcare is Human: from Pandemic Pain, Stories of Beauty and Light." Tom Wright is a family physician, personal and team coach, and well-being advocate. In this episode, Tom shares that "Everything in life is about relationships! Sometimes we miss that because we focus on the professional side, which is incredibly important in healthcare, but how can we bring that humanity back into healthcare?!" "...Recognizing our connectedness, our common humanity, is so powerful, it's transformational!" Speaking to this episode's title, Ryan offers, "There's only so much I can do as one person...we need to give ourselves the same kind of grace and compassion (that we give others)!" We discuss how labeling ourselves can be simultaneously useful, AND create barriers, and the critical importance of fostering creativity. Thanks for being my guests Ryan and Tom, I truly loved our discussion! website link in comments section #physicianadvocacy #physicianwellness #physicianburnout #healthcare #burnoutprevention

As someone with Black American and Latin heritage, equity in care is deeply personal to me. Medical research has been marred by biases, making it crucial to have physicians who understand our cultures and address systemic biases. Addressing the physician shortage among underrepresented groups is essential. More focus on ethics, bias, and access is needed. Collaboration between HBCUs and research facilities, like Ochsner Health's partnership with Xavier University, can develop the next generation of professionals to meet our specific needs. #healthequity #xavieruniversity #ochsnerhealth ##healthinnovation #physicianshortage Listen to more on this topic: https://lnkd.in/ex334Wir

A couple years ago, Joe Rogan was panned for giving airtime to unpopular narratives about how #healthcare and #publichealth were handling the Covid crisis. Fortunately, Spotify held its ground, and the public was able to hear different perspectives, some well-informed and some not, that encouraged critical thinking. What became most apparent to me is misinformation exists on all sides. When I discussed this with those close to me, I found that people are generally willing to say one thing privately while being reluctant to speak critically publicly. Sometimes it even went so far as to publicly deconstruct conversations while appearing to be scientific and rational, when in fact bias and fear seemed to be driving the bus. I recently came across a video by Dr. Z, or ZDoggMD, a popular physician who does good work in bringing awareness to important issues (you may recall his hip-hop-style videos about issues in healthcare), which deconstructed a conversation Joe Rogan had with the controversial epidemiologist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough. I was saddened to see how science and reason were misrepresented in that deconstruction. The issue I had was not with the disagreement about research. I encourage such dialogues. The issue I had was with the wielding of "science denialism," logical fallacies, and irrationality to diminish support for an unpopular narrative. I have found that those of us who are considered well-educated tend to be the most fearful of carefully and logically looking at unpopular narratives for fear of the phrase "conspiracy theory" being invoked. It often seems that what is true matters less than avoiding what is unseemly. I know this has been true of me. But if experiencing health is our true goal, not merely caring about health (healthcare) or publicizing a view of health (public health), then we owe it to ourselves, our families, our patients, and the public to follow reason over avoiding the boogeyman. Below is my own deconstruction of Dr Z's deconstruction, in which I spotlight the misrepresentation of science and reason. Where do you agree or disagree? What's missing from the conversation? What is included that should not be there? Please share your thoughts. Sreesha Sreenivasan Health Revolution

On the "It's Not Just You" podcast, I delved into a fascinating discussion with Kara Pepper, MD, on navigating emotional trauma in healthcare. We explored: 1) The power of medical simulation and debriefing to drive culture transformation 2) Practices like safely containing emotions and somatic processing over more common but less helpful strategies like trauma dumping (aka venting). Discover how these techniques can enhance emotional agility and promote longevity in the healthcare field in my latest book, "Revitalized: A Guidebook to Following Your Healing Heartline!"

"Don't stay stuck!" That is great advice on both an individual level, and a systems level! Join us for this inspiring episode of "Stand Up (for) Doctors!" featuring Gabe Charbonneau, MD, rural family physician, and the co-founder of Medicine Forward (MF), and Denise Wiseman, co-founder of the Healthcare Reinvention Collaborative (HRC), inspiring others to “Make a Ruckus That Makes a Difference!” Through our thoughtful conversation, Gabe shares how Medicine Forward was born out of physician frustration and distress, and the need to think in new ways about how we can actually create positive change. Denise adds that there have been discussions about transforming healthcare for decades, but the same thing keeps being done over and over again. Denise does a great job explaining the value of creating an impact network (a relational network with deep and wide connections), and Gabe comments that our conversation here and now is an excellent example of being in community with each other, building wider bridges of connection between change agents, and that we are actually doing the thing that we’re talking about, with the hope of inspiring others! We share that we need hope, and there is hope! Prescribe Hope is explained as an upcoming audio documentary, and in part a much-needed advocacy channel to expand mental health protections for healthcare workers. We talk about how building the right balance of infrastructure and innovation is critical for transformational change, the importance of re-building trust, and “slowing down to speed up!” To learn more, reach out to Gabe and Denise here on LinkedIn, or the MF and HRC websites, links in the comments section! #physicianadvocacy #physicianwellness #physicianburnout #healthcare #burnoutprevention #physiciangrowth #physicianjourney #physiciancare #physicianempowerment #physicianwellbeing

In medicine, the principle of "do no harm" is fundamental. Given the historical harm caused by racism and inequities within communities, it's imperative to prioritize this perspective. We must first approach interactions through this lens and then seek to establish cultural connections, if it’s important to them. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon, LMSW, MEd speaks with Raj Sundar. Raj Sundar is a full-spectrum family medicine physician and community organizer and the host of Healthcare for Humans, a podcast dedicated to educating others on how to care for culturally diverse communities so they can be better healers. Raj works with others to create systems that treat each person with dignity, respect their histories, celebrate their joys, and honor their hopes. We’re excited to have Raj with us today to discuss cultural competency and his work with Healthcare for Humans. What does it entail to cultivate a healing relationship with the individual before you? What information is essential to grasp without overwhelming or burdening them with excessive explanations?
