The Integrative Palliative Podcast

Life is BUSY! There is so much to do and I know you wish that you had just a few more hours in every day. 

The surprising truth is that you may be inadvertently making your time issues worse than they need to be. In this week's episode of the integrative palliative podcast, we'll discuss three of those ways - I know you'll see yourself in at least one of them. 

We can only fix what we know is there.

If you have a friend or colleague who struggles with time, be sure to forward this episode to them.

Life can be hard.

When our "cup" is empty hard things are harder. And when our "cup" is full, life is simply easier. This week you'll learn a simple but powerful technique for figuring out how to fill your unique "cup," and once you practice it for yourself you will have a powerful tool to use with your patients. 

This technique is especially valuable for patients with distressing symptoms that don't seem to have a quick fix or a magic pill. Try it for you and then try it at work!

We all know that there is a tension between being the empathetic physician that you want to be and getting your charts done so you don't stay at the office until 9pm. We also know that patients hate it when their doctor never looks up from the computer. 

Is there anything we can do?

We can't get rid of RVUs or fix the whole healthcare system (at least not today), but there are a few very effective techniques for fostering connection with our patients without upending our whole schedule. 

Here are six techniques that will supercharge your connection with your patients without adding time to your visits.

Buprenorphine gets a bad rap. Many physicians aren't clear on how to use it and we tend to shy away from things we don't understand.

But what if a patient comes onto your service who is taking buprenorphine? We really shouldn't turn our collective heads away from this potentially very useful medication. Instead, we should learn more and increase our comfort so we can best care for all of our patients.

That's where Dr. Ben Thompson comes in. He shares his expertise in using buprenorphine for patients with addiction and also for patients without addiction who suffer from pain. Did you know that buprenorphine might be just the right medication for an older, frail patient? Come listen and you'll understand why.

Physicians are suffering. Dr. Londono is one of the few LatinX female urologists, and she gets it. She became physically ill due to burnout. Twice! Not only did she find ways to lift herself up, she founded an organization to help other physicians who are suffering.

Dr. Londono started Physician Coach Support, a free web-based support service for physicians. Check it out at www.physiciancoachsupport.com.

Giving bad news well takes skill.  Many physicians do an OK job at giving bad news but I encourage you to shoot much higher than just OK. Patients and families may remember that moment for the rest of their lives, and a physician who skillfully gives bad news can help relieve suffering for the patient and family.

In today's episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast you will learn 10 tips for delivering bad news like a pro. 

Share this episode with any oncologist, hospitalist, cardiologist, nephrologist, resident or other physician that you know.
