The Secret Occupational Hazard in Medicine

The Worthy Physician

05/04/23 • 9 min

Physicians face a great deal of pressure as they work long hours, handle a high volume of patients, and deal with complex medical cases. In addition to these stressors, physicians are also expected to maintain a high level of professional conduct, provide outstanding patient care, and manage their personal lives. These expectations, when combined with feelings of isolation and burnout, can lead to physician suicide.
The medical community has only recently started to address this issue. It has been suggested that physician suicide is more of an occupational hazard than a health problem, and therefore requires an evidence-based, comprehensive approach.

A Seriously Lighthearted Conversation of Grief and Physicians

The Worthy Physician

08/22/22 • 46 min

How do physicians grieve?
In a healthcare system and profession where we encounter a barrage of patients not all with good outcomes, information, loss of self, identity, and many other things, how do we as physicians grieve? Medicine teaches us to NOT show our emotions, and many physicians keep grinding away neglecting self care, and also where we are on an emotional scale.
Losing a patient is not easy at all. It stays with us.
Chronic diseases with poor outcomes--it stays with us and we feel for our patients.
In this episode, I sat down with Anne-Marie Zanzal, who has a history of working as a chaplain in healthcare/hospice, and a certified grief counselor to discuss grief.
She also brings to the forefront her experience of grief when she came out as a lesbian later in life. She currently coaches women who are coming out later in life as well [individual or group coaching]. There is so much to grief, and it does not just happen with death but also other points in life.
-We discuss identifying grief and how it can show up in more than just tears
-How to reconnect/destress
-Labeling emotions
-Getting help

The Importance of Listening and Healing Through Poetry with Frankie Abralind

The Worthy Physician

05/24/23 • 10 min

Listening is a crucial aspect of effective communication and interpersonal relationships. It is important to actively listen to others without interrupting or making assumptions, in order to fully understand their perspectives and feelings. This can help to build trust and empathy, and create more meaningful connections between individuals.
Healing through poetry is a powerful tool that has been used for centuries. Poetry can offer a safe space for individuals to express their emotions and experiences, and can be a means of catharsis and self-reflection. It can also provide a sense of comfort, validation, and connection to others who have had similar experiences. Through the use of metaphors, imagery, and symbolism, poetry can evoke deep emotions and allow individuals to process and heal from trauma and pain.
When combined, the practice of active listening and poetry can create a transformative and healing experience for individuals. Engaging in active listening while someone shares their poetry can create a space of validation and understanding, allowing individuals to feel seen and heard.

Unlocking Motivation: The Role of the Habenula and an Iterative Mindset in Mental Health and Habits

The Worthy Physician

10/09/24 • 33 min

Discover the intriguing role of the habenula in shaping motivation and behavior with our esteemed guest, Dr. Kyra Bobinet. This small but mighty brain region, often overlooked, deeply influencing emotions and contributing to mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. By understanding its impact, we challenge medical norms and empower individuals to break free from limiting paths, reclaiming mental health and motivation in the process.
Mindfulness and resilience are essential, especially in demanding professions like healthcare, where balancing multiple roles can be overwhelming. We explore how an iterative mindset can transform these challenges, allowing clinicians to experiment with behaviors and overcome the notorious 'no-do gap.' Dr. Bobinet shares insights on how turning off negative signals from the habenula can prevent burnout, encouraging a shift away from performance-based thinking towards a more sustainable approach to productivity and job satisfaction.
Embracing an iterative mindset in all aspects of life can lead to sustainable habits and prevent motivation loss. We discuss how setting performance-based goals can create cycles of motivation and self-blame, and how recognizing each achievement as an iteration can lead to growth and learning. Finally, learn about a unique habit formation app inspired by this mindset, designed to support users in building health habits naturally and sustainably, all while respecting privacy. Join us for a transformative conversation that promises to reshape your approach to motivation, habits, and mental health.
