In this week's episode of Promising Young Surgeon, Dr. Frances Mei Hardin takes us on an enlightening journey into the complex world of shame in healthcare, a topic that resonates deeply with professionals across the field. Joined by Dr. Will Bynum, an associate professor of family medicine at Duke University and an expert on the subject, they explore how shame influences both personal and professional spheres, shaping interactions and self-perception. Will shares his personal experiences and insights, offering a fresh perspective on how shame can be both a destructive and constructive force. Together, they delve into the concept of "shame competence," a set of skills designed to engage with shame in a healthy way, turning it into a tool for personal growth and improved patient care.
