Medicine teaches us many things. It teaches us to spot abnormalities and anomalies and disease. So often, it is also modeled to us that we should hate call, that the ER likes to punish us and that patients are wasting our time.  These are lessons we learn over years of training that we accept to be true. These lessons condition our brain to be Committed to Suffering. We look for the ways that our job causes us to suffer. We revel in misery. We find comradery in complaining. But what if it didn't have to be like that? What if call didn't suck? What if the ER's aim wasn't to punish us?  

Come learn some valuable tools for dealing with our Commitment to Suffering that medicine has taught us and learn how to re-wire that conditioning in a way that serves you better. 

In medicine, we often relate to feeling "called" to our field. Answering our calling is what gets us through the hard years of training. However, once we are done with training, we can find ourselves feeling more like it's just a job we clock in and out of to pay the bills. Today we discuss a parable that I find useful in evaluating how we think and feel about our job. Come let me walk you through the steps to evaluating where you are at with your job, and how to feel like it's your calling again.

Do you like to control things? Are you "Type A" or a "control freak" so to speak? We like to control outcomes in medicine, but do we really ever have true control?  Many of us find ourselves trying to control more than just outcomes as a way to feel better. Today, we dive in to why we often try to control our surroundings, and what to do when it isn't helping us to do so.

Our training in medicine often teaches us that what we want doesn't matter. We put off our interests and lives until we complete our training, then we can find ourselves struggling with who we are outside of medicine. This is often a major contributor to burnout amongst my clients and amongst physicians in general. By allowing ourselves to want things and to dream about things again, we open our mind to living intentionally and creating the life we want.

Our medical training often makes it hard for us to tell others that we are struggling. Often we think they should just know and offer to help us. We often assume that our boss or administrator knows that we are struggling and we feel victimized when they don't help. But when we think this way, it strips us of all of our power in the situation. We need to realize that the company we work for highly values us as a physician and that we are experts at being OB/GYN's, so when something in the workflow isn't gong well, our opinion matters. In today's episode, I walk you through how to approach admin and ask for a scribe, as an example, in a way that focuses on solutions and empowers you to have a say in things.

 Have you ever wondered why we work such long hours in this field? I think the answer to that question is much deeper than "because there's a lot of work to be done."  I see 5 common reasons why we work long hours in OB/GYN and they aren't what you might think! We need to look at the real reasons why we end up overworking and begin to realize it's not just the amount of work. Our beliefs and our conditioning often lead us to over-work, not our contract.

Burnout can feel like you are stuck on a hamster wheel--running and running, exhausted, but getting no where. Often, this is related to the questions we ask ourselves. 

When we ask our brain a question, it's job is to find potential answers. So if we ask negative, Dead End Questions, we get negative, dead end answers...and a negative, dead end mindset. 

In this episode, we discuss what Dead End Questions are and I give you some Better Questions to ask yourself.
