~19% of the US population are Latina(o)s but only 6% of physicians in Pulmonary/Critical Care are Latina(o)s. Let's celebrate with our Latinx colleagues while renewing our commitment to increase DEI in our field and all medicine. @atscommunity@NHMAmd#NationalLatinxPhysicianDay
Medicine is a relational specialty, not a transactional one
I think this is the problem most of us have with those who act as though we are making widgets or something and want us just to make more widgets faster
"One more thing," the patient says, right when I'm about to exit the exam room.
I used to be annoyed by it. Until one day, a patient's "one more thing" was actually "the" thing she wanted to say. But she needed to feel me out and make sure I was a safe person first. So, I sat back down and listened. Then we discussed and ran tests.
"You restored my faith in doctors." She took the bus just to tell me this today after making a full recovery. Her visit filled my heart with warmth and purpose.
If we ask people to wait for months for their appointments, then (sometimes) hours in our offices, we can hear them out for their one more thing.
