important qualities to you in a doctor if you can post comments on Facebook page

doctors Asbury rational all knowing for a paternal a stick of butter

expectations that doctors will give you the precise incorrect

because of actual mistakes just like anybody else doctors
600 tired or under a lot of stress
what is a big problem with a specially with interns in medical resident evil to get enough sleep
how does that affect how you function in clinical setting
that lack of sleep effects of phentermine reaction time
thinking of him in particular interesting because when your over tired but an
emergency comes up most of us can get to Sinnoh in the moment00:34:20
great for that moment we were making complex
multifactor decisions which is really both of Medicine what’s hard to focus
things in your tired fatigue
little children is it a decrease as you emotional resilience little kids with
cranky and an adult tutu
but we have much whispers are if he was small things
that would normally bother you will now sick people off email coming from a nurse patient00:34:55
is someone loses their cool and that’s one thing Escalade out of control
tonight having enough sleep it is a disaster it all around
trying many different things limiting hours at residence
can work complete answer
because you know have twice as much as he used to
used to have in there but its clear that a bare minimum people to get a good night of sleep
never won a doctor take care of me who has slept a reasonable amount of time00:35:30
is the lack of sleep doctor get it different points in a career because
because of the way that schedule is regimented when your training
doctors
it it was religious schedule used to do in every third night overnight
you would never get enough sleep so we change for that model sore able to get
get more sleep little still not quitting think if we want but it’s clear that we don’t have enough
have enough doctors especially in Arizona primary care00:36:05
general doctors appointment for general medical care
you’re out that you are the hospital fuel prices Tampa
AMPAC is a used to be any more patience to see things to deal with
I think it’s a combination of both of us
we’ve heard a lot lately about the increased demand for primary care doctors especially
say that in order to see a specialist in Muscat your primary care physician
doctors are working more and more hours in Seymour more patient00:36:40
about how burnout is a growing problem can you tell me a little bit more about that I think burnout a
special in primary care the normal at enormous issue because as you lately 5th
primary care doctors pediatricians in an internist and family doctors
how to take everything in an eighth
the doctors medicine so often I get a patient at who sang by specialist
within the patient mention the problem
is the primary care doctor have to take everything you can it snow line drying or special00:37:15
I draw my life the colon after that you know you go back to your primary doctor
which one of the doctor takes care of my home
my whole picture but sometimes it in the overwhelming do I have the same 1520 everyone
everyone else will have your 20 things that need to be dealt with
nose piercing with poverty you’re doing with insurance issues art
worst dressed with her family think that will come up all these things I want you to
is it and it can be a lot and many people are exhausted00:37:50
us physically I’ve also seen in long for the
simplicity up with them quotes special special to just have to deal with one or
organ system in and nothing else how much paperwork
paperwork you have to do a sex bring out
exponentially like and give an example
electronic medical record system that we now have in with hospitals have
but one way the ministration can add on00:38:25
new mandated by making more required fields you can
can’t close your visit to leave now address little things to freshen screening
pain scores education level adding more more things to do
do all important is valid but a number keeps going up
and you’ll have any more time and becomes very frustrating you want to focus on one thing but you
forced to do more paperwork on tour the patient has insurance problem
how many medications not covered by authorization who does that surprise00:39:00
that’s a primary care doctor and so it’s everywhere you turn
more and more paperwork and most doctors
paperwork when you compare other health care
Canada what was paper work because there’s been really want sure
for the Hope Diamond worth now every picture of a different planet which plan covers what
what I can’t remember covers which medication is very hard to keep track
track racing images00:39:35
hospitals are using computer technology I had a couple of appointment revenge
computer in the room I’ve been sitting on exam table and the doctor has acne
questions with his or her back to me and hasn’t typing in the computer
is it appropriate to ask yo can we talk and you can do that later
what you want to be understanding of the time the Decatur their b***
how are thing as a doctor I’m torn
pipedream my visit and allotted00:40:10
us so I have to get through it to doctors in the end of an intern
aqua how do you know how to get fined for the first five minutes don’t write
just look at the patient get the initial part of autonomy
iContact people if you have a really intense 500
conversation and then you know
no I want to get down everything attorney do you mind if I write while you speak
the computer I ask for permission expensive00:40:45
first part of a visit not writing stations are understanding
only certain number of hours in the day to do that but I think the doctor look up
look up 10 Things I Hate can we talk for 5 minutes first
without the computer is rude
and I would be there in salted if someone I will sing of my doctor I can look at me once directly
directly you give examples of doctors
making really big mistakes I mean mistakes that00:41:20
people die what kind of food that can you hide from your patience
Gary Barlow away from my location
population is largely as an immigrant not English speaking population
ferry to see my writing
have you been very supportive really appreciate the honesty because they know
the mistakes happen to know nobody thinks that doesn’t happen
can I find the patients 80 100 would rather00:41:55
honestly 1 oz worth let not hear about it at least my hear about it
Finnick and feel alright you know I can trust you because if you’ll be honest
about it then I ask for more worried about mistakes happen
never being sold mostly my patients are incredibly supportive because
because they know what’s happening in the not know about it how hard was it
hard was it to write about those honestly I mean it’s hard for anybody
what was the process like for you00:42:30
can I roll a bout them but one of the ones
I want to know the second year resident I had a patient with severe diabetes and nearly comatose
things you do if you give them an insulin drip to control sugar
and when he was I turn off the trip
do you have to give a shot of long acting insulin before you turn off the
turn off the drip why would I want to do that I turned off my internets a teaching moment
Benton of course I was wrong I completely forgot the thing you’re supposed to do with giving an injection00:43:05
of long acting insulin before you stop the trip back into a comatose
state and very quickly the senior resident found out and came down
yelling at me for the whole emergency
about my error with the most of my life
mightyman front of me
it took me twenty years to write about that because of the shame
and it made me think that if I hadn’t been so shady00:43:40
maybe a Crip come forward to the patient and never told the patient that I made it
something wrong I put your life at risk
died and made you stay in hospital longer I will just wanted to run and hide
and so it’s really got me the lesson of trying to take the shaming
out of it to people can come forward with her
how is it in that thing to have your company chicken I mean
before you go on the air in radio in your life somebody makes a comment about your delivery00:44:15
something is really unsettling to say okay now I’m going to have to do this
medicine that is there so much more pressure there it’s very hard for me
my compass with shake it for quite some time end
help with that is when I hear a supervisor a superior talk about their
about there at once for a service talk about their error
public forum and talks about how old was one of the hardest
life and having this very high a person talk about00:44:50
how hard that moment was just see him still be a competent doctor
Dr still in charge for practicing it help me see that you can get through it and his admission
mission office on terror we still meeting for me

We’ve all seen the caricature of the unfeeling, cold-hearted, bitter doctor on cable television. Gregory House, after all, is not an exactly a model for compassion. Danielle Ofri argues in her newest book, What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine, that the idea that doctors don’t have feelings—or that they can ignore those feelings—negatively affects patient care. This hour on Focus, we'll relisten to Lindsey Moon talking with Dr. Ofri about why that caricature developed and how it affects the way doctors practice medicine.
