Every consultation we have with a patient reveals something about us - sometimes we do that deliberately, sometimes it's just incidental - but we always bring something of ourselves to the consultation.

In a recent episode, we talked all about self disclosure; when it is and isn’t appropriate to share things with your patients. In that episode, we focused on health and illness but today, we’re going to be talking about things that are outside of the sphere of medicine. For example, the way that we consider our identity and other aspects of our personal life. This might be through outright self-disclosure or it might be more linked to all of the nonverbal and visual cues you get and give in a consultation.

Expert guests:

Dr Brendan J Dunlop is a principal clinical psychologist and clinical lecturer in clinical psychology. He is also the author of The Queer Mental Health Workbook. He delivers training and teaching which covers elements of self-disclosure.

Spinal cord compression is an extremely serious disorder that can have devastating consequences. These include weakness of the legs, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and loss of sensation.

Rapid diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference to the outcome - so it is vital that we get the diagnosis and management of this condition right.

In this BMJ Best Practice podcast on spinal cord compression, Kieran Walsh talks with Professor Kenneth Casey, Clinical Associate Professor in Neurosurgery at Michigan State University and Clinical Associate Professor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Wayne State University School of Medicine.

The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as: “An unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage.”

Among many other variables, mental health conditions play a critical role in determining the emotional experience. Thus, it is very reasonable to hypothesize that baseline anxiety, for instance, may influence pain and opioid prescribing. In this month’s RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, joins Shay Nguyen and Jennifer Waljee, MD, authors on “Prospective cohort study on the trajectory and association of perioperative anxiety and postoperative opioid-related outcomes,” first published in August 2022 (https://rapm.bmj.com/content/47/10/637). In this fascinating study, 1,771 patients were prospectively followed; self-reported opioid use, pain, and anxiety were recorded on the day of surgery and at 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-surgery to examine whether or not anxiety was a mediator between pain and opioid use.

Shay N. Nguyen is a fourth-year medical student at the University of Michigan who is applying into classic surgery. She studied biochemistry in the University of California, Santa Barba, where she did research in chemistry and material science. Currently, her research interests include understanding risk factors for opioid use in the context of surgery and perioperative anxiety management.

Dr. Jennifer F. Waljee is a plastic surgeon in academic practice at the University of Michigan. She completed her medical school training at Emory University and completed clinical residencies in general

surgery and plastic surgery at the University of Michigan, followed by a hand surgery fellowship. Dr. Waljee is a co-founder and co-director of the Michigan Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network (OPEN),

a statewide collaborative program dedicated to enhancing opioid stewardship and developing best practices for the management of acute pain during procedural care.
