This is incredible , listened to just audio without looking at the shiny cranium and it really hits the spot

Be nice to the nurses

Great advice ! As a 11 yr ER doc…I try to tell young physicians to simply try to lead with love, kindness and empathy (including yourself!). And treat patients and their family like they were your family. And if you just try and simply life to that you won’t fail. Be open and embrace all experiences.

(Retired ER Nurse) A very wise attending listened to a resident struggling to figure a very complicated case. When the resident admitted he didn't know what to do next the attending suggested he ask the nurses for help. In response to the resident's incredulous expression he reminded him that the nurses have seen it all and have experience working with many patients and many physicians.

Yoda level truth bombs, y'all. The Force transformed this one, it has. Much mahalo!

Been in solo practice for 8 years now. Residency was without a doubt the worst years of my life. I was never suicidal until I endured the attendings' emotional abuse

Listen to the seasoned nurses. They are your eyes and ears.

Interview Daniel Ingram, he was an emergency physician who now has an organization that is studying meditation

Listen up! First year residents coming into my OR stresses the life out of me because they don't know that they don't know. I understand sterile technique is not high on their priority list and they don't get enough time spent learning this BEFORE stepping into an operating room. My advice would be to listen to those who are trying to help you. I stand by err on the side of caution whether you think it is overkill or not. Learning the basics should not be with patients but it is. Contaminating my field sends me into space but I work with it and hopefully, they learn. Some never do because they're the docs and know way more than I do. True, however, I expect certain things from those who are learning being first year or senior. One resident I had let me go for several months before he leaned in and told me he scrubbed for several years before medical school. We laughed often about that. Attendings do not need to treat residents poorly. And yes, there are times when you pick out a resident and know they should be doing something besides medicine. All in all I remember most with great respect and fondness.
