@adi_kumar1 Such an important and strong message! "Let your words heal the mind while your hands heal the body" π€ I'm going to quote you so many times with that!
@jspector Some of my best posts have turned out to be the ones I think the least about! The joy of creating so much content is that you realise the impermanence of it all, and the endless opportunity to improve it the next time. Loved this post's writing style btw @jspector π
@SnotSurgeon Alternate thought, feel free to ignore it - we could learn from marketing and sales if we look at in terms of conversion rates. Even if you choose the right candidate, you need to build moats to make it harder for them to not show - they don't have to be financial moats
@JordanLynch1892 Use the stability of a doctor job part time to build your own thing which removes the middle man from defining your value. Make medicine your side-hustle ;)
You see how things can be different and you see how healthcare is a relationship and not a product. You see how the system is incentivising you to be mediocre and you can't stand it!
You're here to make change. You're here to make an impact.
Medicine is just a side-hustle.
Medicine is a factory job.
It wasn't always... but if you haven't realised, we've been industrialised.
Things have been made 'efficient'.
Things have been made safe.
Outcomes have improved.
Care has become a product - is it the right product for everyone? It tries to be...
But the way it functions today, is by making you a machine on the product of providing care.
For some, that's perfect! Get good, get stable, get going.
For some, that's not good enough - you're a heretic.
66% of doctors are worn out at the end of the day.
55% of medical students are emotionally exhausted.
You spent Β£46250 on medical school, but no one taught you how to rest.
How I recharge to make sure I can perform my best π§΅
Lots of doctors are stuck in their jobs, complaining about what else is possible.
Most of the clients I work with have been sitting on their ideas for over 5 years!
Don't just keep doing things. Bring meaning to the way you use your time. Make a difference, make an impact!
Don't publish, post instead.
Things that were available only in books is now common knowledge.
Real value gets verified immediately by a community of experts OUTSIDE of any 4 walls now.
Harder to fake it, easier to make it!
We then spend time at the end of the day, tying up loose ends and tidying it all up - takes less time and efforts than otherwise as the balls already rolling (and we can't wait to get home!).
Caveat: ED is not a place for deep work π
Though I like the pomodoro technique - distractions happen!
Here's 3 things Emergency Physicians do instead:
1. Break down a big goals > tasks
This way, we're more likely to remember what we were doing, actually get it done faster and build quick wins to the larger goal.
