Humanism: The Radical Notion that Doctors are People, Too

Medical students start their training with a level of optimism and altruism unmatched by doctors at any other point in their training or careers. But usually by the time students graduate from medical school, cynicism starts to set in. By residency, the numerous stressors take their toll. Long days, late nights, seemingly endless stretches spent away from loved ones, and the stress of working in an environment where life and death often walk side-by-side--training in medicine can be an incredible experience, but often a dehumanizing one as well.

For years, studies have consistently shown that medical students experience depression, burnout, and other mental illnesses at higher rates than their age-matched cohorts, and physicians have a higher rate of suicide than the general population—40% higher for male doctors, and an astonishing 130% higher for female physicians. Mental burden aside, the other unfortunate side effect of dehumanizing our young doctors is that they in turn start to dehumanize their patients.

If there is one thing that medicine possesses in spades, it's historical precedent, and the punishing and often monastic life of the medical trainee is notorious. But does it really make for better doctors?

In this presentation, we will discuss the unique stressors endemic to the medical profession, especially during the training years, and discuss coping and lifestyle strategies both in and out of the hospital. The session will be part presentation, part open discussion forum, and people should feel free to discuss their own stories and ways that they've found to cope with the rigors of the medical training process.

Web MDs: A Panel of Doctors from the Blogosphere

Physicians blog for myriad reasons: as therapy, as art, as critique of the medical-industrial complex. Voices abound: the solo practitioner, the neophyte, the patient as muse, the solace-seeker, the academic simplifier, the physician as patient. Blog as a literary form encompasses the gamut of emotions, from pathos to anger, from humor to trivia, from reverence to snark. Suffering through the educational and professional journeys is a most prevalent theme; humor as a coping strategy is widely reflected in the personas taken on by physician bloggers. Why do we write? Who is the intended audience? What does our blogging say about us as doctors? As people? How has the confessional nature of blogging changed the doctor-patient relationship? How do the inevitable issues of patient privacy and confidentiality come into play? And how do our blogging voices impact the doctors we've become? Three physician panelists will reflect on these questions and welcome wide ranging discussion from audience members.

    Green And White Coach Purse, The exact text will differ depending on the actual application you have running. Refresh the Autoblog page you were viewing. Done! Done!. The turbo four and light steering made it surprisingly engaging to drive. I enjoyed how this one was trimmed out, and the cabin managed to be both woodsy and elegant. It also offered an excellent view of my surroundings, which is not a given for a beefy SUV. Style wise, I don't love it. I think it looks better in pictures than in person. It seemed a little overwrought in my driveway. (Black Michael Kors Bag With Gold Studs)

    OK, then. That said, the theme of extreme digitization still carries into the interior design, even if the A8 can't (yet) drive itself. In the interest of creating a clean, aesthetically sleek cockpit, no fewer than 35 buttons have been eliminated, replaced with a 10.1 inch black panel touchscreen and another 8.6 inch touchscreen below it.
