Her monthly column “In Practice” appeared in the Boston Globe and won the Will Solimene Award for Excellence in Medical Writing from the American Medical Writers Association in 2012. Her interview column, “The Big Idea,” appears at The Rumpus. Suzanne conducts workshops, moderates panel discussions, and speaks to a variety of audiences about literature and medicine, narrative and storytelling in medicine, women's health, mental healthcare, and primary care. Suzanne's essay collection, Letter to a Young Female Physician, was published by W.W. Norton & Co. in 2021. Excerpts from podcast interview: This conversation really starts with your 2017 essay describing the challenges faced by female physicians. Resounding message: “Dear young colleague, you are not a fraud. Your training will serve you well. Your humanity will serve your patients even better.” Did it surprise you that this book still needed to be written some 30 years after your training experiences involving sexism and imposter syndrome? In the book you reference a NYT op-ed by a female anesthesiologist w/ 4 kids to asserted that “women physicians who work part-time are betraying their patients, their full-time colleagues, and the taxpayers who subsidized their medical education.” You trained at Johns Hopkins and Harvard, were you an outlier among female colleagues since you chose to practice medicine part-time very early on in your career and do you think that was part of why you were constantly feeling like you needed to prove yourself? Throughout the book you shared your incessant struggle with body image and dieting – revealing your family nickname “Big Tush” and joking “If I ever knew as much about medicine as I know about dieting, I would win the Noble Prize!” One of my favorite passages towards the end of the book is your ultimate self-acceptance: “I now see that everything I have ever felt good about- in my marriage, my parenting, my writing, and my doctoring- has been the work of the loud, curvy, curly headed girl, operating on instinct and without self-consciousness. And every wrong turn I've ever taken has been in pursuit of …the woman I thought I was supposed to be. CURVY CURLY always wins. Always.” Trend in med schools to accept more humanities students and to focus on BOTH competence and compassion in medicine. Reminds me of Dr. Kate Treadway's course for 1st year med students: “Introduction to the Profession” Students are sent out into the hospital to speak with patients. They can ask anything, but REQUIRED to ask: “What advice would you give me as I begin my career?” #1 answer patients give: “I JUST WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO ME”? Do you think it's becoming easier to integrate humanities and storytelling into our practice and how does that change the way we see patients? As much as it is a letter to other physicians, your book is very much a personal memoir. The portrayal of your relationship with your mom was so vivid, all the way to her final stages of life after suffering from a stroke. There was something you wrote which I think can be really helpful to young stressed out professional moms: “ I was reminded of something my mother, not at all inclined to self-pity, said to me near the end of her life when I asked what I could do for her: “Bring me back my husband, my friends, my career, my health- that's what you could do.” SUCH a Reminder that whatever stress you think you have now, you're going to miss it! Was that also a wake up call for you to appreciate the busyness of life? Describing another female physician who was a friend, but had a tendency to compare herself unfavorably to you… “She marveled at how I'd simultaneously served her coffee and cookies, cuddled my daughter in my lap, offerd my son, who lay on the floor in a car seat a bottle, and swatted away our Chesapeake Bay retriever who was determined to lick milk dribbles off the baby's face- all while we gossiped about work. “You should have seen her, She was a Goddess.” P. 120 In the book you write about your son's at one point intractable epilepsy and how terrifying it was despite BOTH your and your husbands training. “People ask “Is it easier or harder to have a sick child when both parents are doctors?” But this is the wrong question. There is no hard, no easy. Only fear and love, panic and relief shaking and not shaking.” Can you share one of your unforgettable PAGING DOCTOR MOM MOMENTS with us, a time that's etched in your mind when trying to balance medicine and motherhood collided?

I'm glad to return to the COVIDCalls microphone after a much-needed break. It was one that, quite honestly, I really needed—but it's nothing compared to the break that nurses and docs and teachers and other essential workers across the USA and around the world need. The stories coming from full emergency departments and overcrowded, unvaccinated, classrooms in the United States are so distressing—I wish everyone could find some time and some peace in the midst of all this. I want to offer my sincere gratitude to guest hosts Kim Fortun, James Adams, and Jacob Steere-Williams for producing and hosting some lively and insightful COVIDCalls discussions while I was away.

Key Takeaways[3:38] A little bit about Dr. Genevieve and how she got into the field of patient education.[9:02] Dr. Genevieve shares what people need to be thinking about when they begin to write patient education materials. You might not realize it, but you have a lot of power and what you do/say can hurt the patient. For many health care professionals, the world of medicine is a comfortable place. For patients and their loved ones, it is not. It's a traumatic experience for them. [13:16] When it comes to creating content, you want to focus on the most important content first. People have short attention spans! Get clear on what's a ‘need to know' vs. a ‘nice to know'. Should all of your words be short? Dr. Genevieve says no, but spacing plays a big role in readability. When it comes to adult learning, the more you're engaged and interacting with the content, the better of an understanding you'll get. Dr. Genevieve tries to incorporate this principal into her classes. [19:19] Patients who are engaged with their own healthcare journey tend to do better in their recovery. When faculty talks about ‘empowerment', what do they really mean when it comes to patient education? [22:31] How are educators and providers thinking about information sharing and content creation in today's landscape? [25:09] Dr. Genevieve shares the different types of materials she's worked on over the years to make content more digestible. Informational videos are doing exceedingly well. [30:00] What resources are out there that content creators can leverage when creating simple and easy to understand patient education materials?[33:45] Dr. Genevieve shares her tips on building a more empathic approach to her writing. Spend time with patients! Your materials will immensely improve. [37:25] The more people we can bring into science, the less fear people might have on certain medical procedures. [40:00] What don't we do enough of in patient education? Dr. Genevieve shares her thoughts on usability testing.

Moms beware!! Several decades ago, penicillin, vitamin C, and many other prescription and over-the-counter products were manufactured in the USA and you could, for the most part, “trust” them. But with the rise of globalization, drugs such as antibiotics, anticoagulants, antidepressants, birth control pills, and many others are made in China and sold in the USA… the quality controls are NOT in place. It’s all about the bottom line and making money. Many times you might be consuming too high or too low active ingredients. You might just be consuming a drug adulterated with a carcinogen 200% above acceptable levels, but, hey, it helps the Chinese make greater profit margins at the cost of YOUR health. This is a national security crisis…a healthcare crisis…and it is time to hold our elected officials accountable. Rosemary Gibson is the author of CHINA Rx which exposes the risks of America’s dependence on China for medicine. She is the 2014 winner of the highest honor from the American Medical Writers Association and has been credited with creating national movements for safer, more effective healthcare.

Freelance medical writing can be a great nonclinical career for several reasons: It can be started part-time. There is a lot of flexibility. The demand for writers continues to grow. It does not require a big cash investment to get started. But it’s probably best-suited for physicians with a certain personality. My guest, Dr. Emma Nichols, addresses all of these issues in today’s interview. She has a doctorate in molecular biology. And, she’s a seasoned medical communications professional specializing in continuing medical education and news writing. Her company, Nascent Medical, provides expert medical writing services through its team of experienced MD- and PhD-level writers. As she was building her company, she needed to vet and train capable writers. That led to developing a course to train freelance writers in all aspects of the business. Dozens of physicians have launched their own writing careers as a result of the training provided by Dr. Nichols. I’ve personally spoken with several writers who have recommended her course. So, I thought she'd be an excellent guest for the PNC podcast. If you’ve considered a career in medical writing, Emma provided some great advice during our interview. She described the benefits of a career as a freelance medical writer. And she outlined the personality traits that best fit such a career. She suggested that writers start out by writing part-time to see how well they like it. She mentioned the American Medical Writers Association (aka “AMWA”) as a good resource for physicians considering a writing career. It’s next big annual meeting – the 2018 Medical Writing & Communication Conference – is being held in Washington, DC from November 1st through the 3rd. She also told us about a free webinar she’s hosting called “Freelance Medical Writing -- A Lucrative Work-From-Home Career Choice.” The webinar is being held on Thursday, October 25th, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. It’s a very good way to learn more about freelance writing. She’ll be going into more details about some of the topics we covered, including the potential salary expectations.

Welcome! My guest today is Rosemary Gibson, who is an author and renowned speaker and presenter on the subject of healthcare. Rosemary is currently the senior advisor at the Hastings Center, and the founding editor of Less is More narratives in JAMA internal medicine. In 2014, she was the recipient of the highest honor from the American Medical Writers Association in the field of medical communication. Her books include Medicare Meltdown: How Wall Street and Washington and Ruining Medicare and How to Fix it, The Battle over Healthcare, The Treatment Trap, and Wall of Silence. Tell us what the Hastings Center is and what you do there. The Hastings Center is a healthcare think tank that looks at ethical issues from the perspective of public interest. It’s a non-partisan, non-profit organization with whom I’m proud to be affiliated. We seek to inform the public on critical healthcare issues of the day. I do this work as a public service because we have the right to know! Where are healthcare costs headed for beneficiaries? Costs keep going up! The reason is that hospitals, doctors, and medical device companies can keep billing for whatever they want and as often as they want. There is no one to stop it! Their motto is “Bill, Baby, Bill!” Medicare is taking a larger and larger share of social security tax. Millions are facing a 50% increase in their Medicare Part B premium. Your Medicare card is the credit card for those doctors, hospitals, and medical device companies and you can’t do anything about it! When Medicare started, there were no healthcare companies on the Fortune 100 list, but now there are 15! The system is full of corruption that is off the charts! What is the answer? How can we stop this? You have to take charge of your health and not trust it to anyone else! Healthcare is something they want to SELL to all of us, and we cannot assume that they want the best for us. Rosemary calls our condition “The Marinated Mind,” because we’ve been marinated to believe that any procedure recommended by a doctor is ok. Baby boomers have been brainwashed to NEVER question what the doctor says. Rosemary teaches you her “exit strategy,” where you can respectfully decline a procedure, ask for more time to think about it, and discuss it with the doctor at a later date. Listen in for details! The truth has been hidden from us, but we need to become empowered to make our own decisions! Find Rosemary Gibson’s books at www.rosemarygibson.org or www.amazon.com. Medicare Nation listeners, you know I’m always reminding you that we each play a part in reducing Medicare fraud. We all have to do our part. Always examine your monthly summary statement for anything that looks suspicious. One more tip: It’s Medicare enrollment time, so STAY AWAY from the high-pressure seminars!

About my guest, in her words: My career is focused on healthy aging in women, including hormone replacement therapy using primarily bio-identical hormones, and reducing risks for functional loss and dependency. I specialize in the endocrinology of menopause and disease risk reduction as reflected in individual patient care options and clinical management decision-making, with an emphasis on breast cancer early detection, diagnosis, treatment options and ongoing cancer survivor care. Further insight into the depth of our need to nurture ourselves throughout a woman’s life is fueled by having delivered over 1,500 babies in addition to being a mother myself. From babyhood to adulthood, we all deserve compassionate, kind and patient attention to our individual needs. I have committed to becoming more active in the politics of medicine, hoping to preserve the very special nature of the physician patient relationship as well as promoting greater collegiality through all sectors of health care. I am a member of the following professional organizations: American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG). Fellow, 1984 to present. American Society for Reproductive Medicine, 1983 to present North American Menopause Society, 1992 to present American Society of Breast Disease, 1994 to present California Medical Association: San Francisco Medical Society, 1981 to present. Editorial Board, 1998-present. Editor in Chief, 1999- 2001. The American Medical Writers Association, 1994-2000. My academic appointments include: Volunteer Clinical faculty at UC San Francisco (Women’s health, gynecology and female sexuality courses) former faculty at the University of Arizona School of Medicine (associate professor for the “Current issues in women and children’s health” course) and adjunct teaching in the Integral Health Studies Program of the California Institute of Integral Studies (see www.CIIS.edu master’s program in Integral Health). As part of community outreach, I enjoy appearing on television, as a regular women’s health guest expert on local and national television and radio programs as well as public lectures. Professional continuing education seminars for doctors, nurses, physician assistants and psychologists continue to be a regular part of my professional activities I serve on the non-profit Sophia Project Board of trustees, devoted to caring for near-homeless mothers and children in West Oakland and the larger Bay Area. I also serve on the Board of the California Institute of Integral Studies, a University offering bachelor’s degree completion, Masters and PhDs (see www.CIIS.edu). For 15 years I served on the board of the Patient Assistance Foundation whose job it is to raise money for health education, social services and financial counseling for those in need. My hobbies include savory cooking and baking, having held a job as pastry chef assistant during college and never losing my enthusiasm for good organic home cooking. I also enjoy music (when I can practice, I play viola in chamber music groups and sing soprano), reading a diversity of philosophical and historical writers, bike riding and hiking to explore nature and the world. My books include The Pocket Guide to Bioidentical Hormones, Alpha Press 2010, and Mother Nurture, with Rick and Jan Hanson, Penguin, 2002.
