For some, work is a calling, and they can't ever imagine giving it up.  In episode 5, we meet Michael Segal, and hear his incredible journey—beginning with being left for dead on the floor of a convenience store in Austin, TX and ending with his lifelong commitment to helping trauma victims survive and flourish in the trauma wards of Ben Taub Hospital.

Ben Taub Hospital, located in the heart of Houston, Texas, is the city's largest hospital for those who cannot afford medical care. Texas, in turn, is the US state with the country's largest uninsured population. Amid chaotic emergency rooms and busy hospital wards serving the most financially and medically vulnerable people, Ricardo Nuila, MD finds meaning and beauty through stories he hears from his patients. In addition to his duties as a hospitalist at Ben Taub Hospital, Dr. Nuila is an associate professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, where he directs the Humanities Expression and Arts Lab, as well as an author whose writings have appeared in the Atlantic, the New Yorker, the New York Times Sunday Review, and more. His 2023 book, The People's Hospital: Hope and Peril in American Medicine, explores the ups and downs of American medicine through the lens of patients he has encountered at Ben Taub. Over the course of our conversation, we discuss what it's like to practice in a safety net hospital, the power of narrative medicine in connecting with patients, and how clinicians can hold onto their strength of character, even when working in a system that often feels broken and indifferent to human suffering.In this episode, we discuss: 2:25 - How Dr. Nuila became drawn to both medicine and creative writing  6:07 - The characteristics that define different types of hospitals 12:06 - A patient story that exemplifies the experience of being a doctor at a public safety net hospital 20:33 - How Dr. Nuila finds deeper meaning in providing care, even when faced with systemic circumstances that a doctor can't fix25:34 - Dr. Nuila's advice for how to get through the moments when you feel like you are “at war” with gaps in the system 42:32 - How narrative medicine and storytelling can make more effective clinicians 45:45 - Dr. Nuila's advice on how to make a career in medicine meaningful Dr. Ricardo Nuila can be found on Twitter/X at @Riconuila.Dr. Nuila is the author of The People's Hospital (2023).Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

An Update on the Ben Taub Hospital Shooting Photo Credit Associated Press We promised an update on the Ben Taub Hospital Shooting. It turns out that I was mistaken about the role of the deputy that responded to the attack.  If you did not listen to the first episode dealing with this, you can listen by clicking here. My initial information was not clear so I assumed that the deputy was in the hospital also as hospital security. Not so. The hospital policy outlines that "security is the responsibility of the agency that brings the inmate to the hospital." The deputy was at the hospital on a detail that was not assigned to Hall. The update article is linked below. A Harris County Sheriff's Deputy shot 46-year-old, Ricky Lynn Hall, on the fifth floor or Ben Taub Hospital Thursday morning around 10 a.m. Source: Digging deeper: Why was inmate involved in Ben Taub shooting left unsupervised? | khou.com This still leaves us with questions. Where were the agency officers assigned to guard Hall Why was Hall unrestrained without guards present Why was the medical student in the room with an unrestrained inmate  Did the medical student have the correct and proper training to ready her for the situation To be very clear, we are NOT in any way shape or form being accusatory toward Ben Taub Hospital. We also have the greatest sympathy towards the medical student for having this happen to her. Our purpose is to dig deeper and ask the tough questions in order to provide the best outcome for any future related events. An informed and aware people is an empowered and resilient people. We are here to help you We at Full Circle Systems would like to reach out to the medical student that was attacked and offer at our Awareness and Personal Security Training at no cost.

Ben Taub Hospital Shooting Credit abc13.com An off duty deputy working at the Ben Taub Hospital in Houston Texas shot an inmate holding a medical student hostage. Full article linked below. A deputy shot and wounded an inmate receiving care in Houston's Ben Taub Hospital Thursday morning after the patient obtained an 'edged weapon' and held it to a medical student's throat, according to a Houston Chronicle report. Source: Deputy shoots inmate in Ben Taub Hospital who held med student hostage The inmate, Ricky Lynn Hall, was in the hospital for evaluation after having seizures. Mr. Hall seized a female medical student and help a "sharp edged object" to her neck. An off duty deputy working at the hospital heard the medical student screaming from the floor above. Mr. Hall said he would kill the student if the security guard didn't shoot him. The security guard shot him So, this sounds like the inmate wanted "death by cop". The security guard (deputy) shot twice, at least got him once. Mr. Hall went through surgery and is reportedly still alive. Quite a few questions come up from this incident. Why was the medical student alone with an unrestrained inmate? Or, was she? Was any other security or persons in the room with her? How did the inmate get a "sharp edged object"? More questions than this will surface. Hospital violence is on the rise. Do you know what policies and procedures your facility have? Are your security guards armed? Is the training provided adequate? Is the hospital staff comfortable with the training that is provided? See, lots of questions. Violence exists. This is a fact. Instead of being reactionary to it, make a plan, implement the plan and practice the plan. We do not rise to the occasion, we fall to our base level of training. Let's all learn from the Ben Taub Hospital shooting. Stay safe.
