There is an unknown hazard of life coaching:
Half your friends are life coaches
And they have awesome offerings
And you want to take them all to support your friends
But you also know you have a tendency to be busy learning, learning, learning
So you can avoid doing, doing, doing your own work

Here are some ideas about what’s happening and how to change it.
"As recently as five years ago, there was an expectation of respect for the expertise and sacrifice that a physician’s work entails.
But disrespect from patients is currently at an all-time high, sometimes even escalating to physical violence from patients."

Toward the conclusion of medical school, an oath is usually taken by the graduates–a symbolic commitment to their calling and a promise to guide their medical careers.
For years I had the impression that everyone either took the Hippocratic Oath or the Oath of Maimonides.

Contentment is underrated, underappreciated, and often overlooked.
Instead, we wildly chase its flashier cousins, happiness and joy, failing to notice what may be already here.
Because it is quiet contentment that brings a sense of peace and well-being, with more depth and endurance

36 followers · 93 posts · Server med-mastodon.comThe first day of internship is uniquely memorable. I still recall what I was wearing, meeting the other interns, starting work on the floors with my new team members who were all unknown entities, living in a new city, and learning my way around the city, the hospital, and my new role.
I remember the excitement of possibilities and yet the unspoken fear of not being good enough.
What do you remember?

This past week, I finally made substantial progress in some home repairs pending for more than a year.
The amount of energy that resulted in finally accomplishing this surprised me and spurred even more action and planned improvements.

36 followers · 93 posts · Server med-mastodon.comSummer marked the start of medical school, with July being when clinical rotations commenced in the third year and when the transition to the fourth year occurred. July was when internship began, followed by each new year of residency. Fellowships began later but still in the summer.

33 followers · 86 posts · Server med-mastodon.comThere may be some seeds in your garden that you didn’t plant or mean to plant. Seeds of discontent and burnout, born out of stress and dissatisfaction due to the pressures of our daily lives.
I believe deep-seated systemic problems plant the seeds of burnout. When we feel powerless and devoid of agency, these seeds find fertile, moist ground in which to thrive.

In honor of Father’s Day
“Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love”
― Bruce Perry
My father died this past January. But this post isn’t about loss.
It’s about the love and memories that remain.

33 followers · 79 posts · Server med-mastodon.comDoctors have been conditioned since childhood to experience not knowing information as a trigger. Daily messages telling you you're not doing it right bring back memories of implied or overt criticism from school and training. There are steps you can take to minimize this effect.
