The Secret Occupational Hazard in Medicine

The Worthy Physician Podcast

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 Podcast

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
