Meet again Joe Sherman. Joe grew up in a family being the youngest of seven siblings. His parents who had not gone to college wanted their children to do better than they in part by getting a college education. Joe pretty much always wanted to go into medicine, but first obtained a bachelor's degree in engineering.

This is your host, Mike hingson, and welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. And today we are meeting once again with Dr Joe Sherman. And if you remember our last show, Dr Sherman is a board certified pediatrician and master certified physician development coach, and I won't give any more away, because it's more fun to talk to him about all of that. But we had such an interesting discussion, it just seemed like what we ought to do is to have a continued discussion, because we didn't get to cover everything that he provided to us last time, and and I know we've probably got lots more that we can add to the discussion. So, Joe, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're glad you're here   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 02:10 again. Thanks so much for having me. Michael, it's good to be back.   Michael Hingson ** 02:13 Well, glad you're here and all that. Do you want to start by kind of, maybe refreshing people about you a little bit life and all that, any anything that you want to give us just to start the process? Sure,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 02:25 I currently live in Seattle, Washington with my wife. We have a few grown children that are in their early 20s, and I am a pediatrician, and now am a physician professional development coach, and I facilitate retreats for health professionals, medical teams, and most of my focus is on trying to bring who we are to what we do kind of being more authentically who we are in our workplace, trying to come to our work with a more balanced mindset, and trying to work A little bit more collegially as medical teams in today's ever changing health care environment. So now, I have practiced for about 35 years in pediatrics, and am now devoting all of my time to coaching and facilitation. You   Michael Hingson ** 03:37 know, gosh, there's so many, so many things that would be interesting to discuss, and I do want to stay away from the whole idea of politics, but at the same time, what do you think about the whole way the medical profession, you know, of course, one of the things that comes to mind is just everything that happened during COVID. But what do you think about the way the medical profession and some of the things that the profession is trying to do is being treated by politicians, and a lot of times it seems like people don't take it seriously, or it just doesn't fit into their agenda. Does that make sense?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 04:15 You mean, as far as so as a pandemic was concerned? Well, the   Michael Hingson ** 04:20 pandemic, or, you know, there were some discussions about end of life or life discussions, and some people poo pooed, having that kind of thing and saying that isn't something that doctors should be doing. Oh,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 04:33 I think, right now, I think that politics and healthcare are intricately entwined. Especially after the pandemic, and I think right now, the idea of the politics getting in the way of a kind of. The doctor patient relationship is, is challenging. It's challenging for healthcare workers. I think where we desperately need political courage is in trying to develop a healthcare system that works for everybody in the country. So I think that that's where the focus should be.   Michael Hingson ** 05:21 What do you think about? And I've had a number of people tell me, single pay healthcare system wouldn't be a good thing. It's too socialistic, and we'll leave that out of it just wouldn't be a good thing. It seems to me that it has been very successful in a number of places, but the kinds of arguments that people give are well, but by having competition, we have been a lot better at producing new and innovative technologies that wouldn't be produced or wouldn't be provided if we had just a single pay kind of system. I don't know whether that makes sense or I'm expressing it the best way, but it just seems like there's an interesting debate there. I   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 06:03 think there is debate because I do think there is some truth in the statement that our health care system has enabled development of technology and research in ways, perhaps that other countries have not. On the other hand, our health outcomes and our health access for people who live in this country is not very good, especially given the degree of wealth that our country has. So I used to joke, although it's not that funny, but one clinic where I worked that was a low income clinic, I used to joke that if one of our patients were to come out of their apartment To cross the street to come to the clinic. They may be turned away at the door because they don't have any insurance, or they don't have the proper insurance, or they can't pay but if they happen to be get run over by a car in the street on their way across the street, there would be no questions asked. The ambulance come pick them up. They'd be taken to the emergency room, given the best treatment to try to save their lives, admitted to the ICU and incur a huge medical bill with the greatest of technology, but they would not have been able to have gotten that primary care appointment to be in with. Yeah. So we are very kind of high tech, high intensity, high specialized in our approach to health care, whereas other countries focus much more on primary care.   Michael Hingson ** 07:54 I know in 2014 in January, my wife became ill. Started out as bronchitis, and it kept getting worse, and she didn't want to go to the hospital, but, and she was always in a wheelchair, so she she found that they didn't really know how to deal with can Well, she was congenital or always paralyzed from basically t3 from the breast down, and she so she didn't like to go, but finally, we compelled her to go to the hospital. And was on a Saturday, and the next day, the bronchitis morphed into double pneumonia and ARDS, and her lungs ended up being 90% occluded, so she had to even to get air into her lungs, they had to use a ventilator, and she had a peeps level of 39 just to get air into her lungs. Yeah, you know what that that means. And it was, it was pretty amazing. People came from all over the hospital just to watch the gages, but she had literally, just about turned 65 and we were very blessed that we didn't get any bill because Medicare, I Guess, absorbed the entire thing, and we we, we didn't know whether, whether we would get anything or not, and we didn't. And she did recover from that, although she felt that she had coded a couple times, and then her brain wasn't quite as good as it had been, but, but she did well, and so we got incredible care from Kaiser Terra Linda up in the San Rafael area, and it all went well. Of course, I we had gotten the pneumonia shots, and I complained to our physician to talk about joking. I complained to our primary care physician. I. Well, you say that these shots are supposed to keep it from happening, but we both had the shots and and, and she got double pneumonia anyway. Of course, the unfortunate thing was that that the doctor had an answer. She said, Yeah, but it would have been worse if he hadn't gotten the shot. Darn. She shot me down, but it was fun to joke.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 10:18 Well, I'm sorry that that happened to you that that's, that's a unfortunate situation, it   Michael Hingson ** 10:26 was, but you know, things, things do happen and and we did get over it. And out of that, we ended up moving down to Southern California to be closer to to family. So it worked out okay. But we we love the and really support the medical system in any way that we can. We see both of us did, and I still, you know, and wherever she is, she must see the value of of what's done. And it just is so frustrating anytime people say doctors are crazy people. They don't, they don't really look out for people's interest, and just so many different things. It, it's unfortunate, because, you know, I can tell you from personal experiences. I just said what we saw,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 11:16 yeah, I think that what is happening in our healthcare system now is this epidemic of burnout amongst professionals, especially amongst physicians and nurses, but and a lot of that has to do with the amount of administrative tasks and the amount of pressure that's put on physicians and other health care providers in trying to see as many patients as they can in the shortest amount of time as possible, and this is because of our system of fee for service reimbursement for medical care, the way that that health systems stay afloat is by trying to see as many patients as possible, and this unfortunately, combined with the amount of administrative work that needs to be done for each of those visits, plus the amount of communication that comes in from patients, as well as referral sources and requests for prescription refills, all of that comes in constantly through the computer of any physician that's trying to work as an outpatient or inpatient doctor, and it just becomes overwhelming,   Michael Hingson ** 12:43 yeah, how do we fix that? That's a good loaded, general question, isn't   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 12:50 it? It is it is a good question. And I I think it's a multi pronged approach. I do think that one thing that has happened is that the technology of healthcare and the business of healthcare has changed dramatically during the time that I've been a physician, a pediatrician, and the culture of healthcare, kind of, the way we do things, really hasn't changed. So that means that the business and the technology has placed more demands on us, and at the same time, we're kind of doing things pretty much the same way we've always done them, because of these extra demands that are placed on physicians and other health professionals, what's needed are experts that are in those areas of billing, administrative, administration, technology, it all of those things that now all feed into seeing patients in the office or in the hospital. So you need all of those professionals working together side by side along with the physician, allow the physician to do the work that she's been taught to do, which is actually deal with the patient and take care of the patient, and then let other people do the data entry, do the billing, take care of all of the messages and other things that are coming in around that that that provider. Do   Michael Hingson ** 14:23 you think that the same level of burnout exists in other countries that exists here?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 14:29 You know it does. I do think that burnout exists everywhere in healthcare. I do think that it is less in low income countries, which seems kind of strange, but I've worked for many years in my life in low income countries in Africa as well as South America. And it's a different culture. It's a different culture. Culture of health care there is, there are different expectations of doctors, I think, in other countries, especially countries that are used to seeing a lot of disease and mortality, the pressure on saving lives and the pressure on having to be perfect and always get it right and knowing everything to do it each time that a patient comes in is not quite as intense as it is here. So I do think that it is different in other places. However, I will say that I have spoken to physicians in definitely in the more developed, higher income world, parts of the world that this epidemic of burnout is pretty universal   Michael Hingson ** 15:57 now, It seems to me that I've been seeing in recent years more what they're called physician assistants. Is that a growing population, or is it always been there, and I just haven't noticed it? And does that help?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 16:14 I do think that in our country, here in the US, the future, will see many more physicians assistants and nurse practitioners, what we call Advanced Practice clinicians, or advanced practice practitioners, providers. We're going to see many more of them doing primary care, and a model that I think would would probably work very well is a team based model where the MD, who is kind of trained at a much higher level for many more years, leads a team of other providers made up of physicians assistants and nurse practitioners to do primary care, to take care of a group of patients, and perhaps that MD is there to consult, to be back up and to care for the more complex patients, while the nurse practitioners and PAs Are are getting the primary care, delivering the primary care.   Michael Hingson ** 17:23 Well, I know that the PAs that I have dealt with through the years, it seems to me, have, especially in the last 10 years, but have been very, very competent, very qualified. And I I don't, I don't know that, where I would say that they're less rushed, but I've had the opportunity to have some good conversations with them sometimes when, when the doctor just doesn't have the time. So it that's one of the reasons that prompted the question. It just seems to me that the more of that that we can do, and as you said, the more that that takes off. Perhaps some of the load from the physician itself may, over time, help the burnout issue.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 18:10 I do think so. But I also feel like there's tremendous pressure right now on those pas and nurse practitioners, because they're under a lot of pressure too, too, and there aren't enough of them. Reduce and yes, so actually, right now, there's a movement within the the federal government to expand the number of positions in training programs for nurse practitioners and PAs. We have far too few, especially Physician Assistant schools. We don't have nearly as many as we need in this country. And if you look at the numbers, I think it's more competitive to get into PA school than it is to medical school,   18:54 really. Yeah,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 18:58 I, you know, I that's been my experience of what I've seen from people just, you know, the number of applicants toward compared to the number of accepted, hey,   Michael Hingson ** 19:09 they wouldn't let you into a PA school, huh?   19:11 Exactly? Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 19:15 No, I know. Well, it's, it is interesting. I know we read a few years ago that University of California Riverside actually started a program specifically, I'm trying to remember whether it was for training doctors. It was something that was supposed to be an accelerated program. Oh, some of the hospitals sponsored it. And the agreement would be, if you went to the school, you'd get the education, you wouldn't pay and at the end, and you would go to work for those hospitals like, I think Kaiser was one of the major sponsors of it. And again, it was all about trying to bring more people into the profession. Which certainly is admirable by any standard.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 20:04 Yes, I think there are. Now, there are a few medical schools, and they're expanding the numbers that have free tuition, and they some of those schools, such as NYU Medical School has a generous donor who is given a tremendous amount of money as a donation and as an endowment. It pays for all the education of the students that go there. And there are some other schools that have the same arrangement. I think, I think if I were to be boss of the country, I would make all medical education free in in return, people would have to work in an underserved area for a certain number of years, maybe a few years, and then after that, they would be free to practice debt free, in any specialty and anywhere they would like.   Michael Hingson ** 21:10 Well, we need to do something to deal with the issue, because more and more people are going to urgent cares and other places with with different issues. I have someone who helps me a little bit. She's our housekeeper, and she also comes over once a week for dinner, and she has some sort of allergy. She just her face and her neck swelled up yesterday and had all sorts of red spots and everything. It's the second time she took not Benadryl, but something else that made it go away the first time, but it was back, and several of us insisted that she go to urgent care, and she went, and while she was there, she heard somebody say that they had been waiting four hours. So she left, you know, and which doesn't help at all. So I don't know actually whether she went back, because I talked with her later and said, Go back. So I don't know whether she did, but the waiting time is oftentimes very long, which is unfortunate. And I don't know whether more people are getting sick, or they think they're getting sick, or they're just taking ailments that are less too urgent care, but there are definitely long waiting times.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 22:25 Yes, people, the people do not have a medical home. Many, many people don't have a medical home, a true medical home, that early in my practice pediatrician, as a general pediatrician, if there was a child that was in our practice and at night time or over a weekend, somebody would be on call. If that parent was concerned about a child in any way, they call the emergency line for the practice, the on call line, and that operator would page whoever the doctor was on call, and I would, as the doctor covering call that parent and talk directly at home, give advice over the phone, say what to do, make a decision of whether that child needed to go to the emergency room or not, or in the vast majority of cases, could give advice over the phone about what to do and then follow up when the office was open the next day or on the next week. Yeah, but nowadays, people aren't connected to offices like that. Yeah. We have call centers nurse advice lines of people that don't have access to medical records or have very strict protocols about what type of advice to give and the bottom line and the safest thing is go to the emergency room or go to urgent care. So that's unfortunately why some of the highest burnout rates are in emergency room doctors, and some of the biggest problems with understaffing are in emergency rooms right now. And   Michael Hingson ** 24:16 I can understand that, and makes perfect sense to hear that, and it's unfortunate but true. So yeah, but yeah, you're right. So many people don't really have a home. We've been blessed Karen, my now late wife, of course, was always a patient of Kaiser, and was a strong advocate for the way they did most of all of what they did. And so I eventually, when we got married and we were in a Kaiser area, then I did the same thing. And mostly I think it worked out well. I think. Kaiser is a little bit more conservative than some when it comes to perhaps some of the the newer procedures or newer sorts of things like they, you know, we see ads on TV now for the Inspire way of dealing with sleep apnea, as opposed to CPAP machines. And I don't know whether Kaiser has finally embraced that, but they didn't for the longest time. At least our doctor said that it wasn't really great to have to undergo surgery to deal with it, and the CPAP machines work fine, but I think overall it to to use your your words, definitely, if you're in that kind of an environment, it is a little bit more of a home, and you have definite places to go, which I think is valuable. And I think that more people really ought to try to figure out a way to find a home if they can.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 26:00 Yeah, I do think that it is in the amount just society has advanced so so rapidly and so much in in how communication is instantaneous these days, through texting and through internet and through instant messaging, all these different ways that everything is sped up so people are looking for answers right away. Yeah, and it's, it's that's often puts too much pressure on the people that are trying to manage all of the patients that and all of their inquiries that they have. So I think, I think we need to make some serious changes in the way that we, that we staff hospitals, the way we staff clinics, and look and see what are the specific duties that need to be done, the specific activities and responsibilities in attending to a patient and specifically target personnel that are skilled in that activity, instead of having a physician who you know, is not the greatest typist, or is not the greatest at trying to figure out a code of billing for insurance or how to look at 100 messages that came in while she was attending to, you know, 25 patients in A clinic. It's just too much. It's overwhelming. And I mean, I now facilitate a group. It's a support group for physicians through physicians anonymous, where physicians are suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction. Suicide, ideation, and it's it's really at at scary levels right now, and I do think that the healthcare systems are starting to be aware of it. Think patients need to be aware of it, and the reason why, when you call, you're on hold forever or you never do get to speak to a real person, where it takes months to get in to see a doctor, it's because nobody's home. Yeah, everybody is many, many people have, have quit.   Michael Hingson ** 28:39 Yeah, there's such a shortage. I know at least we see ads oftentimes for nurses and encouraging people to go into the field, because there's such a shortage of nurses, just like there's a shortage of teachers. But we don't do as much with the conversation of, there's an incredible shortage of physicians. I think it's probably done in some ways, but not as publicly as like nurses and some other types of physicians.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 29:13 Yes, I think right now, the I always feel like, I mean, this has been always true that on hospital floors, because the profit margin for hospitals is very narrow, there are only certain services that hospitals truly make profit on. So usually the staffing levels are kept to the very bare minimum, and now that just puts too much pressure on those that are remaining. And so now we're seeing many more hospitals have nurses that go out on strike or or decide to slow down, or. Or do other measures to try to get the attention of how dangerous it is to have understaffing in the hospital.   Michael Hingson ** 30:08 Have we learned anything, because of all the stuff that happened with COVID Now that we're in this somewhat post COVID world, have we have we learned a lot or any or anything, or is anything changing, and is there really ever going to be a true post COVID world? For that matter? That's a fair question.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 30:29 That is a fair question. And I do think recent changes in policy by the CDC of of treating COVID As if it were influenza, or RSV or other type of respiratory viruses is there are many physicians that disagree with that policy, because COVID, this COVID, 19 that We've been dealing with, causes many more complications for those that have complex medical conditions, and this long COVID situation is something that we really don't have a grasp on at this point, but I believe one innovation I would see or expansion that has come about is the whole telehealth movement, now that there are many, many more video visits, I do think that's a good thing. I also believe that it can provide more flexibility for healthcare providers, which will help to decrease burnout, if providers are able to perhaps do their telehealth visits from home, or be able to spend time doing telehealth visits as opposed to having to see patients in person. I think what happens now is we need to get better organized as far as which types of visits are should be telehealth, and which types should be seen in person, so that one provider is not going back and forth from, you know, computer screen to seeing somebody in person, back and and so that gets too disorganized. Yeah, I think at times, other things, I think we learned a lot about infectious disease. I think that the general public learned a lot more about infections and infection control. I think that's all good. I think one thing that we did not learn, unfortunately, is how desperately we desperately we need to do something to try to stem the tide of burnout, because it just accelerated during COVID and then has continued to accelerate because of the economic crunch that healthcare systems find themselves in now.   Michael Hingson ** 33:10 Well, and what is, to me, a little bit scary, is all it takes is one COVID mutation that we don't expect or encounter, and we're almost in back where we were, at least for a while. And I hope the day will come when, rather than using the the mRNA type vaccine that we use now that we truly will have a vaccine like an influenza vaccine, that can really kill the virus and that we can then take, even if it's yearly, but that will truly build up the immune system in the same sort of way. Although I have no problem with the current vaccine, in fact, I'm going in for my next vaccine vaccination a week from tomorrow. And what cracks me up is I've been there a number of times, and some people talk about the conspiracies of all they're doing is injecting you with all these little things that are going to track you wherever you go. And I'm sitting there going, Fine, let them. Then if there's a problem, they're going to know about it, and they'll come and get me, you know, but what I really love to do is a nurse will come over, she'll give me the the vaccination, and she pulls the needle away, and then I reach over with my one hand and slap my hand right over where she did the shot. And I said, Wait a minute. One just got out. I had to get it, you know. And, and she says, you know, there aren't really any trackers. I said, No, I'm just messing with you, but, but you know, it will be nice when that kind of a vaccination comes, and I'm sure. Or someday it will.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 35:02 Well, I think the vaccines it this specific, these types of respiratory viruses do mutate quite a bit. There's all kinds of variants, and they change every year. So I think no matter what kind of vaccine we get, we're still with with infections such as influenza or COVID, we're still going to end up needing to get annual vaccines, most likely, yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 35:34 and that is the issue, that even with influenza, we do get lots of variants, and I know a couple of years, as I understand it, they kind of predict what strains to immunize for based on like, when Australia gets in our middle of the year and things like that. But sometimes it doesn't work. That is they they guessed wrong when it gets to us, or it's mutated again, and it's unfortunate, but it is, it is what we have to deal with. So for me, as far as I'm concerned, anything that we can do is going to help. And I really have found the current vaccines that we do get for COVID, at least, whether it will totally keep you from getting it or not, which I gather it won't necessarily, at least it will mitigate to a large degree what could happen if you didn't take the vaccination.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 36:34 Yes, yes, that's correct. We We are. We're seeing much less deaths as a result of COVID infection. However, in the peak of the winter time in the clients that I was that I've been coaching, who work in in hospitals and in ICUs, they were seeing still a large number of patients that were there. It's just that we've now developed better treatment and management for it and so, so then less people are dying of it. But it is, you know, we have, again, the amount of research, medical research and development that has developed these vaccines has prevented so much infection that what doctors are called on to do now and what they're called on to treat and manage has shifted much more into areas of behavioral health and lifestyle change than it is treating infections. That's dramatically different experience through my pediatric training than what type of training that a pediatrician these days gets   Michael Hingson ** 38:01 and there again, that means that the physicians have to spend the time learning a lot of that that they didn't learn before, which also takes a toll, because they can't be in front of patients while they're learning or while They're studying.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 38:18 Yes, yeah, it's what the medical students and residents now are being called on to manage in the hospital are very, very complex, specialized conditions and very serious conditions. My experience as a resident was much more. The vast majority of people I took care of as a pediatric resident were normal, healthy children who happen to get sick, mostly with infection and sometimes very seriously sick, come in the hospital, receive treatment, and walk out as a child, a normal, healthy child again, we don't see that as often as pediatric residents, just speaking from pediatricians point of view, and I think that that has a an emotional toll on the resident physicians. I got a tremendous amount of reward from caring for patients with serious infections that received antibiotics and got completely better than patients who already have complex chronic conditions that just get worse or a complication, and they come In and the resident helps to manage them a little bit, and then sends them on their way. But really doesn't feel like they cured them contributed in the same way and that that was they don't have that same type of reward, that rewarding feeling, I think, are   Michael Hingson ** 39:59 we seeing? More of that kind of patient, significantly more than we used to in the hospital. Absolutely. Why is that? Is there really are more or   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 40:11 or what? Well, there aren't. We've taken care of most of the serious bacterial infections that used to be treated in the hospital with antibiotics, we've taken care of them with vaccines, and then we've also advanced the the quality and and variety of conditions that we can treat as an outpatient now, so that people that used to come into the hospital all the time for conditions, simple, basic things, are now treated as outpatients. And that's a good because you don't want to be in the hospital any longer than you absolutely have to. No,   Michael Hingson ** 40:58 I had, well, my father, I don't remember how old I was. It must have been in the we 1960 sometime he had to have a his gallbladder out. So it was a pretty significant operation at the time, because they he was in the hospital a couple days, and came home with a nice scar and all that. And then my brother later had the same thing. And then in 2015 suddenly I had this, really on a Thursday night, horrible stomachache. And I figured there is something going on. I hadn't had my appendix out, but this wasn't right where my appendix was, but we went to the local hospital. We called Kaiser, and they there isn't a hospital, a Kaiser hospital up here, so they sent us to another place, and they took x rays, and then we ended up going down. They they took me by ambulance on down to Kaiser, and it was a gallbladder issue. So I guess all the men in my family had it. But what happened was that when they did the surgery, and by the time we got down to Kaiser, the there was a gallstone and it passed. So I didn't want to do the surgery immediately, only because I had the following Sunday an engagement. So we did it, like a week later, the doctor thought I was crazy, waiting. And then later he said, Well, you were right. But anyway, when I had the operation, there were three little band aids, and it was almost, I guess you call it outpatient, because I went home two hours later. Wow, I was I was blessed. So they it was almost like, and I've had colonoscopies before. I didn't spend any more time doing the gallbladder operation than I did, really, with all that I spent in the hospital doing a colonoscopy, it was pretty good,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 42:58 right? I do think that there's been again, major advances in endoscopic surgeries and robotic surgeries and minimally invasive procedures to be able to to treat patients. I mean, again, I have to say that our ability now to treat stroke and and heart attacks, myocardial infarction, our abilities to our ability to treat those acutely, do something to try to improve the outcome, has improved dramatically just recently, I would say, especially stroke management. So what we have is amazing, dramatic changes in in reducing the morbidity and mortality from stroke now, and I think that it's remarkable. Even as a physician, I didn't even realize until a recent trip I took to Bolivia with a group of neurosurgeons how stroke is treated now, and it's, it's, it's phenomenal that before you have a stroke, and it's just kind of like, well, you hope for the best. You support hope that some blood flow returns to that part of the brain. Now, if you have a stroke, and people are taught to recognize it and immediately get to the hospital, they can give a medication to melt the clot, or actually go in there with the catheter and extract the clot out of the vessel and restore you back to full function and   Michael Hingson ** 44:56 remarkable, and have a glass of red wine while you're at it. Yeah. Uh, or, or, do we still say that TPA helps some of those things a little bit? You   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 45:07 know, it's interesting. It's, you know, as far as as I think I've never seen so many articles written about the consumption of alcohol coffee, going back and forth and back and forth. You know what's helpful? What's not? Everything in moderation, I would say this point,   Michael Hingson ** 45:28 yeah, I I would not be a good poster child for the alcohol industry. I have tea every morning for well, with breakfast. And the reason I do is that I decided that that would be my hot drink of choice. I've never been a coffee drinker. The caffeine doesn't do anything for me, so it's more the tea and then a little milk in it. It is a hot drink. Ever since being in the World Trade Center, I do tend to clear my throat and cough more, so the tea helps that, and that's the reason that I drink tea. But I remember seeing old commercials about red wine. Can can help you. So if I have a choice in wine, I'll oftentimes get red just because I've heard that those commercials, and I don't know how how true it is anymore, but hey, it's as good a reason as any to have a glass of wine every other week. And that's about what it usually is.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 46:26 Yeah, sounds like. Sounds like a good, a good plan. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 46:31 works. Well, it's, it's now kept me around for a while, and we'll keep doing it. It works. So what is it that healthcare workers and physicians do to kind of restore their love for what they do and work toward burnout? What can individuals do?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 46:54 I think we're at a point now where in in approaching the issue of burnout and approaching the issue of overwhelm with the amount of work that physicians are called on to do these days is a combination of personal Changes to mindset and approach to our work, as well as structural and organizational changes to facilitate our work. And I think that the organizational structural changes, again, have to do with trying to improve specific staffing to match the activities and responsibilities that are that are called on in the medical setting, and being able to do more in the in the formation of medical teams and in teamwork And in people having a common mission, working together, appreciating what each other does, and hospital administrations and and those folks that run the business of the hospital truly value and enlist The engagement of frontline workers in policy and procedures. So those are kind of structural changes right on the personal side, yeah, I was that's I just a lot of it has to do with being more realistic. And I'm speaking to myself too. We can't do everything for everyone all the time we are human. We often have been taught that we are super human, but we're not. And if, if we try to do too much and try to do it perfectly, then our bodies will rebel and we'll get sick. So I think we need to set boundaries for ourselves. We need to be able to say, these are the hours that I'm working. I can't work any more than that. We need to say that you can't reach me three different ways, 24 hours a day, all the time, and have me respond to all of those inquiries, we have to set limits, and we have to really look at what it is that we love about medicine, what it is we love to do within medicine, and really try the best we can, I Think, with the help of coaches and other types of mentors and folks that can help us to create the types of jobs and the types of positions that help us maximize that experience of fulfillment, that experience of of. Feeling like we truly are contributing to the health and well being of our patients. Do   Michael Hingson ** 50:07 you think overall that the kind of work you do, and then others are doing to address the issue of burnout is is really helping? Are we are we making more progress, or are we still losing more than we gain.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 50:23 I think we're making progress on an individual basis, on people that do seek help. But we need also to change the mindset of ourselves as physicians, to be willing to seek help. We need to seek help and be admit that we need that type of support, but until we get organizational commitment to trying to change the structures and the systems that we work under, then we will continue to have more physicians lost to burnout, depression and suicide.   Michael Hingson ** 51:05 Are healthcare institutions recognizing more the whole issue of burnout, and are they? Are they really starting to do more about it?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 51:17 Some, I think some are. I think organizations are recognizing it. Associations of physicians are recognizing it. But when it comes to surviving as a health organization, healthcare institution, the bottom line is, what runs a show, and the way you make income is through billing, and the billing occurs as a result of a health care provider providing and billing for what they Do. So if there's an economic crunch, the first thing to go is anything that doesn't generate income and supports for the well being of staff does not generate direct income. What it does, though, is that it retains staff. It it results in a happier staff, a more higher professional satisfaction, and in the long run, is going to save you money,   Michael Hingson ** 52:33 yeah, which, which is another way of making some more money.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 52:39 Yeah. I mean the total cost, the average cost for replacing a physician who has decided to quit is anywhere from about 600,000 to $2 million depending on the specialty of the physician. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 52:57 and then getting people to necessarily see that is, of course, a challenge, but it still is what what needs to happen, because it would seem to me that those costs are just so high, and that has to account for something that is still a fair chunk of money. Yeah, it   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 53:16 is. It's a great deal of money. And, you know, our again, our system of health care, we were headed in the right direction. And I think eventually we have to get there to population based health in looking at health outcomes and trying to look at overall health of of our our citizens and and those who live here in our country in trying to, instead of having a fee for service model, have a model that looks at reimbursement for health care based on the total health of The patient, and that is contributed to by nurses, doctors, technicians, receptionists, community health workers, all those types of health professionals.   Michael Hingson ** 54:12 What can we do to get the wider society to become more aware of all of these issues and maybe to advocate for change.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 54:25 I think, I think avenues like this, these   Michael Hingson ** 54:29 podcasts, this podcast is one.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 54:32 I also believe that look at your real life, lived experience of trying to access healthcare today compared to how it was 20 years ago, and are you having more trouble? Are you having is it more expensive? Are you having more challenges? This is direct result of a. System that's not functioning well.   Michael Hingson ** 55:02 Did the whole process of what we now call Obamacare, did that help in the medical process in any way? I   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 55:11 think what happened with Obamacare was well, and the bottom line answer is yes, it has helped. And the way it has helped is that more people have access to health insurance, less people are completely uninsured than ever before. So I think from that perspective, that's been helpful, but there were so many compromises, oh yeah, to insurance companies and two different lobbyists that were all looking out for their interests, that what ended up happening was a much more watered down version of what was initially proposed, but step in the right direction, And if we continue to work toward that, and we have some contribution of government sponsored health insurance, then we're going to be better off as a nation,   Michael Hingson ** 56:14 yeah, well, and anytime we can make a step forward, it does help, which is, of course, a good thing. So if there's one thing you want listeners to take away or watchers, because we are on YouTube, if there's one thing you want people to take away from this, what would it be?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 56:33 It would be, pay attention to your own personal experience with healthcare. Pay attention to your own health and observe what's going on in the clinics, in the offices and in the hospitals where you receive your medical care. If somebody is treating you well with respect and compassion, point it out. Make it known. Thank them. Yeah, make it known that you know that they're under tremendous stress and pressure, and that anytime that they can be kind, then that means that they are very dedicated to to treating you, treating patients. And if you're finding that where you're going to receive your health care seems to be understaffed, and say something about it. If you have a health care provider who is a bit snappy, is not patient with you, doesn't seem to be listening to you, it's not because they don't want to. Yeah, they desperately want to. It's just that the conditions are such that they're not able to   Michael Hingson ** 57:44 and and it would probably be good to at least engage them in a little dialog and say, hey, hey, I'm not trying to yank your chain here and kind of try to help warm them up. I've been a firm believer that in a lot of places where I go, like in the in the airline world, the TSA people and so on, I love to do my best to make them laugh. So like when I go up to the kiosk and the TSA agent says, I need to see your ID, especially when I'm wearing a mask, I'll say, Well, what do you want to see it for? You can't tell who it is behind this mask, right? And I've had a couple people who didn't expect anything like that, but they usually laugh at it. Then the other one I love to use is they ask for my idea. I say, Well, what's wrong with yours? Did you lose yours? And I just love to try to make them laugh where I can, because I know it's a thankless job, and I know that what doctors and medical people deal with is a pretty thankless job, too. So it's fun to try to make them laugh whenever I can and get them to smile.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 58:47 Yep, they all could use a little bit more humor. Yeah, there's always that. So   Michael Hingson ** 58:51 if people want to learn more about you and reach out and learn about your work and so on, how do they do that? Where do they find you, online or any of those things? Sure,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 59:00 I have a website that you can go to. It's Joe Sherman md.com and you can reach me by email. Joe at Joe Sherman md.com also on LinkedIn, so you can find me there.

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore are joined by Dr. Joel Rothaizer, a Master-Certified executive coach and organizational consultant, and Board Certified Psychologist in Organizational & Business Consulting Psychology. Joel brings his personal insight as they discuss the vice, virtue and fixation for the Enneagram Type Three. This type is driven by the need to be seen as valuable, and therefore creates an image of themselves. However, what we typically don't see is the anxiety behind the behavior.“And they're being portrayed in such an unfair way. I think the most superficial thing is not Threes, it's the way they're portrayed by many, many people out there.” -María José [06:32]“Oftentimes, we ostracize the things that we don't like about ourselves. So what is that sort of thing in the Enneagram community? Why do we have such an issue with Three energy?” -Creek [07:54]“It's striving to feel outstanding, but it's striving to feel outstanding in the eyes of others. I mean, I think Enneagram Three hell would be to do something remarkably outstanding and have nobody know it.” -Joel [30:08]“One of the things that Threes are very good at is being productive in a way that is meaningful.” -Mario [43:24]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[01:14] About this week's guest[04:06] The myths about Type Three[12:35] Vice: Deceit[22:00] Constructing a valuable image[28:39] Fixation: Vanity[37:24] Path to veracity[46:56] Veracity: truthfulness ???[54:21] How to contact Joel[55:16] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionDr. Joel Rothaizer:Web: clear-impact.comBook: Clear Impact: Building Your Leadership CapacityMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms |

Yes, a long title but absolutely appropriate and worth it for this guest. Meet Joe Sherman. Joe grew up in a family being the youngest of seven siblings. His parents who had not gone to college wanted their children to do better than they in part by getting a college education. Joe pretty much always wanted to go into medicine, but first obtained a bachelor's degree in Engineering. As he said, in case what he really wanted to do didn't pan out he had something to fall back on. Joe, however, did go on and obtain his MD and chose Pediatrics. Wait until you hear his reasoning of why he wanted to help child patients over adults. Much of my time with Joe revolves around discussing the current status and future of medicine. Spoiler alert! I already invited Joe back for a second episode. He had a lot of good and interesting material to share and there was simply no way to get it all into one episode. I hope you will find my discussion with Joe Sherman beneficial, productive and helpful to you, especially if you are a doctor.

And specifically, he is a master certified physician development coach, which is even more impressive sounding. We're gonna learn about that as we go forward. But I want to again, thank you all for being here. And Joe, welcome to unstoppable mindset. Thanks for being here with us.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 02:13 Thanks for having me, Michael. I really appreciate the invitation.   Michael Hingson ** 02:17 Now you're up in the Washington area, right?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 02:20 I am. I'm in Seattle, Washington, the land of cold freezing rain and clouds right now.   Michael Hingson ** 02:27 Ie up well, it got up to 64 today here where I am down in Victorville. And so I have little space heaters that are keeping the house warm enough that I don't have to turn on the gas furnace. And so that saves a bunch of money since everything here is in this new house is solar. We like that.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 02:48 That sounds very cozy compared to the rest of the country. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 02:53 at least it's it's cozy here. My cat likes it and Alamo, my guide dog like it so I can't, can't complain too much. Good for you. Well, why don't we start? Why don't you tell us a little bit about the earlier Joe Sherman growing up and some of that stuff?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 03:11 Sure, I'd love to. So I am originally from the east coast, from Washington, DC, and I'm the youngest of seven kids. And when I grew up in my family, it was all about get the education get the most education you can and achieve as much as you can academically to go as far as you can. Neither of my parents went to college. And so it was a big deal, especially for my father to make sure we we all went to college and and it really I think the message I got was find a profession and a job that you actually want to go into work every day to do.   Michael Hingson ** 03:54 How many of you were there? How many sores seven of us, oh my god and   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 04:00 and he worked for the post office and he had tough work tougher out there. But he was able to put five of seven of us through college and through our work and his work. But there definitely was a message that I went into college with which was at being the youngest of seven, wanting to do something different from the rest wanting to be better than the rest often because competition was big. And no one was in healthcare. And I really enjoyed this idea of trying to be of service to people. I enjoyed coaching sports, I enjoyed tutoring and, and being doing community service things. And I thought since I did well academically, Madison was a great route to go. So that's the route I took. studied engineering in college because my parents, and I decided you always want to have a backup in case you don't make it into medical school and engineering was a good, good way to get a job. And most of this stuff really is a preface to how much we follow the messages we were given by other people and the messages which have been kind of, programmed into us for better or for worse by people who really wanted the best for us. And for me, that was to go to medical school. And I thought that that would be a great profession, social status, income, helping people and giving me a certain amount of autonomy as far as where I would work and, and kind of what I would do. If those were the reasons I went in that direction.   Michael Hingson ** 06:00 It's interesting. I've heard so many times on unstoppable mindset and just other times in my life about how parents didn't go to college, and they wanted their children to go to college, and they were really committed to doing it. But I love the other part, which parents sometimes did, and sometimes didn't necessarily do, which in your case was find a job that you like and that you want. And I think that's really great. They were not only really committed to helping you go to college, but they wanted you to do what you found enjoyable to do, which is cool.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 06:38 Exactly. And they were very supportive. I have to say, since I was the youngest of seven, by the time I made it into college and was making my way through, they were getting older, and they were getting sick with different ailments to the point that my senior year of college, they both died. What year was separate incidences that was in 1980 1880, and 1981. So   Michael Hingson ** 07:12 did they're getting older and having illnesses in any way influenced you to being interested in medicine.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 07:20 My experience, I would say, with interacting with their doctors and the medical system, as they became ill and eventually died, definitely influenced the kind of doctor I became. And my approach to medicine.   Michael Hingson ** 07:40 Will Tell me more about that, if you would what?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 07:42 Well is almost a contrast of two extremes. My mother died of heart disease, and she was diagnosed with heart disease after I was born, and was in the hospital for months. And then the rest of her life, she struggled with congestive heart failure. She had a cardiologist to doctor who was actually a friend of the families. He was there with her every step of the way. The night before she died, I was in the hospital there, having then called back from school to be there because she was so sick. And he brought his wife to the hospital that night, to say goodbye to be with her, and, and to be able to talk to the family. And so shot was an example of a very supportive, compassionate physician accompanying someone at a tough time,   Michael Hingson ** 08:44 that had to have an impact on you. That was   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 08:47 a big impact. The other extreme was a couple of months after my mother died, my father had gone in for a procedure for finding blood in his urine. And eventually, he didn't know what was going on. And what the reason was. His doctor never told him but instead told me a 21 year old kid that he had metastatic bladder cancer and was going to die. There was no treatment for that.   Michael Hingson ** 09:22 I didn't why didn't he tell his patient?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 09:25 Well, I asked him that question. And I said, Well, I don't think my father knows the diagnosis, or that there's no treatment. Is there are you going to tell him? And he said, Well, I was a little worried that he might get too depressed since his wife just died. And I was not in medicine. I didn't know what I was listening to. But that doctor after two follow up visits after his procedure and diagnosis and Ever Told him and my oldest brother eventually had to tell him. And that was a very, very difficult time in my life when I was home over Christmas break, and I knew my father was going to die. And he didn't know. That really was the negative example for the kind of doctor I wanted to be. I want did not want to be someone that was dishonest with my patients that wasn't supportive of my patients that wasn't there to answer their questions and to accompany them at any point in time. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 10:45 In 2014, my wife became ill started with bronchitis and it kept getting worse. And we both had colds. And mine didn't last long. But she had been in a wheelchair her whole life, and tended to when she got when she got a cold or the flu or anything, she really got it. And so she ended up going into the hospital on a Saturday and the next day, they had to put her on a ventilator because it went into double pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. And her lungs. And they told me it happened, like literally just in a few hours because they thought she had the flu. And she kept saying she didn't. And I knew she didn't. But anyway, her note lungs were more than 90% occluded. By the time they got her on a ventilator, and they put her in an induced coma. And the ventilator to start to try to clear out the lungs. They had to use a peeps level of 39 just to get air into her lungs. Yeah. You understand that? Because I guess normally peeps is the I forget what peep stands for. But it's basically the pressure that it takes to put air into your lungs. And it's normally between two and five.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 12:04 Exactly. Positive and inspiratory pressure.   Michael Hingson ** 12:09 Yeah. And she had 39 Everybody from around the hospital came just to see the gauges because no one believed it. But she survived. Wow. And the so the doctors were honest with me. And when they finally brought her out of the coma they had, they had given her propofol. So this was now with night it was 2014. So as long after Michael Jackson, but when she did come out of it, I asked her if she remembered singing thriller, or any of those kinds of things says she had propofol. But she, they also were very forthright with her. They knew that she understood her body. And we were very pleased at the fact that people were direct with her in a good way. But they they did not try to keep things from her.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 13:08 I think that's very important I, in my situation, it was as I started to go through medical school, especially in my clinical years, I used to go back as a medical student and sit with my patients and talk to them get to know them better. It was not just a matter of carrying out all of the duties that a medical student was supposed to do. But it was truly getting to know my patients as people. Yeah, not just diagnoses. And that was influenced a lot by what I experienced with my parents.   Michael Hingson ** 13:50 When I was going down the stairs getting out of the World Trade Senator, we had firefighters passing us and so on. And we asked what was going on. And they didn't tell us. And there were a couple of other times along the way that I asked people what was happening. And they said, there's just no time to really tell you, this is what you got to do. I also know that they probably did that with me and others because they didn't want to cause panic by saying terrorists and attack the towers. On the other hand for me, and they didn't know b Of course, I love information. And it would have been invaluable for me to know, because it would have actually made a difference in the decisions that we made and where we walked, which ended up putting us in more danger because we were very close to tower to when it collapsed rather than going a different way. And but you know, they didn't know me and I appreciate people not doing that. But I also think that we as a people can learn to accept information. But it is a problem that we have often that we we let unexpected things overwhelm us and Fear blindness as I describe it, as opposed to learning to control it, and it is, it is a problem. So, I would think that the doctors really should have understood or your doctor should have understood about your father, and it would have been appropriate and honest. But sometimes they're afraid to I guess. Exactly,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 15:20 exactly. I think that was the situation that was, you know, as physicians, we are given a lot of power we are. And we are built up during our medical training to believe that we have the answers to always expect to have the answers. And when we don't have an answer, when we don't have a treatment or cure, then sometimes we feel like we failed in some way. And so being present to patients in that moment, can be very difficult for some physicians. For me, it's just a change in plan. It's a plan that doesn't involve an operation or chemotherapy, or whatever the treatments that would be futile otherwise, might be. But instead, the plan going ahead is to comfort patients and to be present to family members and answer as many questions as possible. And I think that that also is delivering medical care and to be compassionate to patients and families. I   Michael Hingson ** 16:46 have heard so many times when someone who has eye problems goes to see their ophthalmologist, and the ophthalmologist after doing whatever work they do, knows that this person is going to lose their eyesight. And they just say, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. And they leave the room. And they're taught, I'm told oftentimes in the schools where they go, that if they can't save a person's eyesight, then it's really a failure. And we've got to somehow get away from those kinds of attitudes and ideas.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 17:29 Yes, I think this is something that everybody is different, you know, every physician is different. And I think a lot. I think something that's forgotten is that we all come into medical training, already with our demeanors our personalities, our belief systems, as well as our values. And we're taught to fit in a certain way, and behave a certain way in order to get to our destination, which is graduating from medical school, finishing a residency and getting a specialty. And during that process, many of us lose sight of who we are, what our values are. Because we've been given things to take on such as death as a failure, or you should always know the correct treatment. Otherwise, you failed certain amount of perfectionism a certain amount of European never, you're never going to know it at all. So you always are have to keep working, working, working and striving. It's Yes, it's a recipe for burnout easily. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 18:48 And nowadays, of course, in our sort of fractured chaotic society, on so many things in the medical environment in the medical world have become politicized, which has to really make it even harder for doctors.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 19:06 Yes, I would say I think for most physicians that I encounter, the the politics that that they wrestle with more than anything is the business of health care. How they can fit into the increasing corporatization of health care. Yeah. Coming from coming from a profession that is really meant to be human centered, and relationship based. But functioning within an environment of business and corporate gain is a cultural collision that many physicians are wrestling with now.   Michael Hingson ** 19:56 Yeah, I'm the in the insurance industry in the corporate business industry just seems to want to dominate and forget what medicine and the philosophy of medicine and being a doctor is really all about.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 20:16 Yes, I think it's, you know, it's it's a challenge, because in our country and the United States, healthcare is really a commodity that we purchase, just like everything else. It's not, it's not considered to be a right like a social, like a social benefit that government is responsible for. There are only select groups of the population that that is considered to be a responsibility of government. And even that is extremely politicized and charged. But because it is a commodity, to be bought and sold, right now we have medical groups, hospitals, health systems that are being bought and sold by corporations, venture capitalists, private equity firms, every kind of businesses that you can imagine. How   Michael Hingson ** 21:18 do you deal with the issue, though, and I've heard people argue this that, yeah, the whole idea of socialized medicine, and as in other countries, and so on, but we're more advanced, we've done more to contribute to medical progress here than anywhere else. And that has happened in part, because of the capitalistic way we do things and the business and competitive way we do things.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 21:44 Yes, I would say, for our situation in United States, as far as medical technology, advances in research, for the most technical specialized care, we have made amazing strides. Even since I finished medical school, I can't keep up with the amount of medical information that there is, and, and everything that's been discovered, and, and, and all the technology available in hospitals. However, if you look at primary care, and access to quality care, across the board for the entire population, we really have not made such great progress. And as far as developing countries around the world, we are decreasing in our progress as far as access and quality primary care for everyone.   Michael Hingson ** 22:48 Yeah, it is really strange. To see what's happened in the world of medicine, and so on, and I go every year for a physical and the physical is no more than a half hour, and then you're you're pushed out because the next person has to come in. And I know that it's not nearly as thorough as it used to be. But that's kind of the way it is. So I've had to spend time learning a little bit more about my own body and bringing any questions and so on to the doctor during the examination, or I do have email access. But still, we you're right, we were not. We're not progressing in that arena, like we really ought to, given the kind of country that we are.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 23:45 Yes, I think that's true. And I think because the technology of medicine has advanced so much and because communication as advanced so much has become so instantaneous. That that demands on all health professionals, not only doctors but nurses and, and technicians and, and everyone that encounters patients. The pressure and the amount of work that's now on our laps, has increased dramatically, especially in the last 20 to 30 years. And I think with the advent of the electronic health record, which is a wonderful resource as far as sharing information, but it's really designed for coding and billing and being able to document whatever you need to document in order to build correctly. It is not really designed to convey information about what you have found medically with a patient from one person to another. And this amount of information that is now coming to each physician, through the computer or through The patient portal, through messages through phone calls through referral demands through prior authorizations for medications and treatments, all of that comes to one place. And it's really hard for each physician to be able to attend to patients that are coming through the office, or the hospital throughout the course of the day, and also take care of all of this other administrative burden that's heaped upon them right now.   Michael Hingson ** 25:30 Yeah, and, and the other, of course, challenges as we have a society that is getting older with baby boomers and so on, the number of patients that doctors are going to have see is just going to increase.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 25:43 Yes, so there is there has been a movement in our country for what's called population based health management, which is not so much being paid fee for service meaning doctors traditionally have seen a patient of a certain complexity or a certain time, and is billed a certain amount of money for that visit, we started to move toward trying to keep people healthy, and not so much trying to get people in the office to see them again and again and again and again and Bill each time, but instead to get their overall health in line. So trying to look at the whole patient and try to prevent illness and also manage chronic illness well, whether they come into the doctor's office or not. And that's really what we've been trying to move toward. But again, like you mentioned, the politics of trying to get there has been a challenge. So we find ourselves stuck in between two different systems of healthcare.   Michael Hingson ** 26:55 What do you think about this evolving concept of telemedicine?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 27:00 I think telemedicine is amazing. I think that it has improved access tremendously. I think there are limitations to telemedicine. And I think that those things are, again, when you look at trying to get through the course of a day one medical provider, whether it be a physician, a physio, physician's assistant, nurse practitioner, trying to get all the work done for the course of a day. If you have to be attentive to who comes in the office, who then appears on the computer and then go back and forth and do all of these different things. It's just one more thing to be concerned about and worry about. However, I do know several physicians who have increased their flexibility, their amount of time they can spend with patients and are very pleased with the way telemedicine has opened those gates. So again, I think technology used appropriately and constant vigilance about how many people and what talents of people and skills are needed to handle all the information and work is that's something that we really need to keep an eye on and do a better job at managing   Michael Hingson ** 28:27 and a physician get as much information from a telemedicine visit or a tele visit as you can from having a person actually coming into the office?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 28:42 Well, it depends on what you're looking for. But I would say my experience being a doctor of going to doctors. I've been amazed at how little of a physical exam has actually done the course of visit. So I would say short of the physical exam. I think that a lot of information for certain complaints can be handled through telehealth. So I do think that that it's made tremendous strides. Mental Health, I would say has been revolutionized by telehealth. My wife is a psychologist, clinical psychologist therapist. And ever since the pandemic and the lockdown she does predominantly teletherapy now it's challenging. It's challenging to look at a computer should I much prefer the old fashioned way of adding a three dimensional being in front of me. But But still I do think that it has improved access for several people.   Michael Hingson ** 29:51 I guess I'm a little bit of an oddity compared to some because I'm I'm so used to working some in a virtual world but also not looking at people that talking to people on a computer never bothers me. Now I do a lot of traveling and speaking today. Or I'm, I have been, and we're ramping it up again after my wife passed in 2022. But I like in person visits for doing speeches because I can actually hear more of the audience reactions, as I'm speaking, which helps me fine tune a talk as I go along. And I don't get any of that, with being able to communicate on Zoom, because I don't get to hear audience reactions. What's fascinating in from the reason I said it, in part is, I've actually talked to a couple people this week, who can see, and who said the same thing, we really don't get to see the same level of interaction from doing speeches on Zoom, as we do from actually doing in person presentations. But I can see where the whole idea of telehealth and interacting over a computer can make life in some senses, perhaps a little bit better for physicians and certainly transmit the same or more information in the same period of time.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 31:17 Yeah, I think I'm all for improving access for patients, no matter what the modality is, again, as long as you have the correct and appropriate amount of people on the other end the handling the information and handling all of the requests that are being made.   Michael Hingson ** 31:41 Well, we've been kind of deviating from some of the stuff that I know we you and I had originally talked about. So I like to get back to you a little bit you went through and you got your degrees? And then what got you into pediatrics? Or what did you go from there? Well,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 31:56 I think when I entered medical school, I was really drawn to a few different professions. One was medicine, one was teaching. And the other was counseling. I really enjoyed all of those types of interactions and relationship based professions. And as I went through medical school, I always loved kids, I always loved working with kids. And so I had my eyes on pediatrics the whole time. And I remember going through medical school looking for role models, looking for somebody who was a teacher and attending physician, someone who's in practice in the community, where I could look at that person and say, I can see myself doing what they're doing. I can see myself in them. And that happened finally with pediatrics. And I realized that I could do counseling, teaching medicine, all through pediatrics, I can counsel parents, I can teach students and residents. And I can use the knowledge and skills that I've learned in order to care for patients. And so that's what drew me toward pediatrics. That and that I can be funny, and I don't have to be serious all the time. When I see patients throughout the course of the day, that always helps.   Michael Hingson ** 33:27 Yeah, I mean, it is just no fun to have to be serious all the time. People don't always get that about me. But I think there's a lot to be said for having a sense of humor in a positive way. And as I tell people when we talk about them coming on the podcast, the only rule is we got to both have fun. So if you're not having fun, you got to say so so we can fix it. But we have to have fun otherwise what good is life? Absolutely.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 33:56 And what other medical specialty allows you to dress up on Halloween with whatever else you want to dress out and and go in and take care of patients. And so as a resident in pediatrics, we always came into the hospital dressed in costumes. And so that's that was always good time.   Michael Hingson ** 34:17 What was your favorite costume?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 34:19 Oh, I think one of my favorite costumes was one of the residents dress as a baby and complete with just a sheet on as the diaper as in the baby bottle and baby bonnet and the whole deal. So that was one of my favorites.   Michael Hingson ** 34:38 Did he talk baby or she talked baby? Just checking.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 34:44 Yeah, a little bit of everything. But it was just it's nice to be able to accommodate kids and parents at the same time. Parents reacted well to that too. They usually do because they want the bad As for their kids, yeah. And I think that anything that makes their child feel more comfortable, then they're in favor of,   Michael Hingson ** 35:09 will you have, you've traveled to various places, and practice still all over the world? Have you ever gotten tired or had real burnout from doing a lot of the medicine stuff or just dealing with people all day?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 35:27 You know, I have to say that I've been fortunate in my career to have had a variety of activities through the course of my jobs. Each job that I have had, I've been able to see patients teach residents and medical students participate in community activities and child advocacy activities. So that having that type of variety of activities has really sustained me in my career. And part of that has been experiences internationally. I was fortunate enough during my residency to spend a month in Bally's. This was in 1988, on the border of Guatemala, and Belize. And that's when I started to realize that medicine, healthcare in other countries is just not the same. And it's just fascinating to see how culture culture influences health care, and, and trying to learn from living in another country, especially a low to middle income country that were, you have to use more of your creativity, and more of your people skills to try to, to try to help as many people as you can. So ever since that first trip to Belize, I was hooked on international health. And so throughout my career here in the United States, mostly combining teaching residents in pediatrics with bringing them to the community and seeing where their patients and families live. I've always combined my work in the US with trips abroad, whether they be short term, one month at a time, or long term, we, my wife and I moved to Uganda for two years and work there doing HIV prevention from mothers to infants. And later, after we had our own children, we moved to Bolivia. And we lived there for four years, working with a mission organization, and getting to do a variety of activities, as well as living within the community that we were serving. So that's always been a major part of my medical career.   Michael Hingson ** 38:10 Have you ever experienced any kind of burnout or just being overwhelmed?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 38:14 Absolutely, absolutely. I would say I changed jobs, as some people would say fairly frequently, I never had one job the same job more than five years. Some of those moves, most of them were for other opportunities, or because of a plan that our family decided to, to move to another country, something like that. But I have to say that I have also had jobs, where the amount of work and the amount of responsibility I took on for myself became overwhelming. And I have the kind of personality that wants to fix everything for everybody, and try to make everything right for everybody. And that is a prescription for burnout. We don't learn in medical school or medical training, how to take care of ourselves, we learn how to take care of other people. And so when we don't do that, and we don't do it, well, then we lose the ability to take care of other people because we have no fuel in our own engines. So I learned the hard way I burned out, became very anxious ventually depressed, had to step away completely from medicine for a while until I was able to rediscover all of those values, all those things that brought me to healthcare and and really drew me in which was predominantly the relationships and we're Working with other people on a medical team and sharing the load. And I discovered that for myself, and now, I try to help other physicians to discover where they are really passionate in healthcare, where it is that they can bring who they are to what they do bring their soul to their role as physicians, is that kind of why you're most of my time to do now?   Michael Hingson ** 40:26 Is that kind of why you went into the whole idea of coaching? Absolutely,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 40:29 absolutely. Facilitating retreats for physicians so that they can get away and spend the time reflecting on why they even went into medicine to begin with, as well as working one on one with career discernment. And trying to decide if where you are is the best place for you. And if it's not, then what you need to change externally and internally, in the way that you approach your job and your work.   Michael Hingson ** 41:03 Of course, that also has to be something that's done in a non judgmental way, because so often, we just always like to try to fix blame or blame someone or something for something. And that just doesn't help.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 41:19 No, I think that one of the greatest challenges for me, shifting from being the physician and treating patients, to being a coach is to let go of having all the answers to let go of having that prescription that of knowing exactly what's needed in the situation. Instead, I spend more time, inquiring, questioning, challenging, but realizing that the true creativity and wisdom comes from within the client I'm working with. So that is a challenge for me. And I work on it and continue to grow myself in that ability to attend to people without wanting to have the magic answer all the time.   Michael Hingson ** 42:10 Yeah. Well, and you're right. And my understanding of coaching has always been that you're asking questions, and you're trying to guide the client to discover the answers, because it's not your job to have the answers but to help people find the answers for themselves.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 42:31 Exactly, exactly. And I think this is a challenge when I coach physicians, because many of them come to me wanting answers. And the temptation is to say, just do what I did. But I know that when it comes to medicine and a career in healthcare, I was the exception. I was the strange, odd ball. I so I don't expect anybody to follow in my footsteps, I think that would be a wrong choice. I think. Instead, it's important for me to help people discover their own path. And to do that, in a humble and open minded way, way that is open to self awareness and personal growth.   Michael Hingson ** 43:23 How has COVID changed all of this and how you deal with people, what physicians are facing and so on. I mean, I'm I know, it's been very stressful. And during the height of COVID, thusfar. Physicians had to be incredibly overwhelmed. And the ones who especially were the caring, most caring ones, it had to hurt a lot. But I also suspect that it just numbed a lot of people who cared. And they just kind of had to go through the motions and do what they could.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 43:58 I think our experience of the COVID pandemic is very complex. And I think in some ways, all of the ills that our healthcare system was suffering. were revealed the curtain was pulled back, and people could see wow, you know, we weren't prepared for this. We already have a a staff of health professionals that were already burned out, we're already kind of operating on fumes and we push them even farther. And, for me, I still hold out hope that we're still examining that experience and realizing that we need to change things that we need to attend to the health and well being of our health care providers as much as we do our general population of patients. But I feel like so many people are traumatized that they feel like, let me just get back to something I called normal before. But what we're really looking for as a new normal, what we're looking for is post traumatic growth, not post traumatic stress, or just returning to the same old ways, really need to learn from our experiences, on a micro level, on a personal level, and on the systemic level.   Michael Hingson ** 45:32 I know, after September 11, I kept hearing people say we got to get back to normal. And I never liked that. And I realized and then started including it in speeches, normal will never be the same again, we can't get back to the same normal or the same thing will happen again. Normal will never be the same again. And it's just as true with COVID. You can't go back to normal, what's normal?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 46:01 Yeah, I mean, that's, I think, I think forever, people want to forget, they want to put that out of their minds and out of their out of their thoughts. But it's there, that experience is there. We were traumatized. I know, my kids were in school, throughout that entire time. They were traumatized. They, they had to change their entire way of going to school. And it was it was challenging as parents is for kids and for everyone involved. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 46:38 And the reality is change is something that happens all the time. We we, we don't like change. But we keep saying it's all around us, but we still don't like it. And the reality is, it's I think that the COVID offered us a lot of opportunities if we learned how to take them.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 47:02 Yes, they did. And I think I think we advanced in a lot of areas. But I feel like there are still several areas that we really, really need to take a hard look, I think right now, what's happened as a result of COVID is the acceleration of fuzziness, physicians and other health care providers leaving their professions. And we're going to go through and have are currently going through a severe health care provider shortage. And I know that people are starting to realize more and more when they try to call their doctor's offices and there's no one picking up the phone. It's because there's nobody home people have left. And it's hard to find people to replace physician, the nurse practitioner, Pa who has built up a practice and really has become skilled at what they do. It's better to try to provide the support they need to sustain them to keep them there. So that patients do have somebody to call somebody to see them when they're sick.   Michael Hingson ** 48:17 What do you see is what we should do to better help and deal with the health of physicians? And I'm, I guess, as part of that, I would also ask, What can we as patients do to help that process?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 48:34 I think that this is a great question, because my belief is now that until there's a patient uprising, and that patients, including those in government, start to realize that their own health care is being compromised, that we're not really going to make significant changes. I would say that there's changes that need to be made on a systemic structural level, organizational level, as well as personal changes that need to be made with each physician with each health care professional. I think personally, we need to take better care of ourselves. We need to be able to advocate for ourselves and to really be self compassionate, to let ourselves be less than perfect to let ourselves walk away from situations when we are exhausted and not try to overdo it. And to come up with methods of balance of choice for ourselves, set boundaries that we haven't set before structurally and organizationally. There is too much work to be handled by one person or the few people that do it. If you are in an in a corporation in technology, and you had developed and invented some new technology then You would have a whole crew of people around to try to take care of all aspects of that new product. Because now you do things a different way you've invented something different. So you need people who are specialized in those areas. Instead, in healthcare, we have the same kind of people handling so much more work. And it cannot all be done. For each physician seeing patients throughout the course of the day, there needs to be a person completely dedicated to handling all messages that come in all requests for referrals, for consultations, for prescription refills, and all of that, because the physician needs to be attending to patients that are there during the day. We also need people that are able to be experts and billing and coding and all of the things that the electronic health record is calling us to do. And we need to have flexibility and the amount of time that we have to spend with patients, it can't be this cookie cutter schedule, that gives the same amount of time for somebody with multiple complex illnesses, as we do with someone that has a very straightforward respiratory infection. So these are some of the changes that I feel we really need to make to catch up to where we are in the business of healthcare right now.   Michael Hingson ** 51:26 Are we making those changes? Are we making progress? You   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 51:31 know, very, very slowly and in small ways. When it comes to health care, now the business of health care, it's still the bottom line. It's still how much are you taking in compared to how much you're spending. And I would say, when you think about programs that make the experience for physicians and other health care providers, more tolerable, or even fulfilling, it ends up being last on the list. So I feel like there needs to be more pressure in this area. And that's where patients can help they can become advocates for their physicians for their providers, and try to ask, on a personal level, when next time you go in for health care, how are you doing? How are you holding up? How are you dealing with all the pressures that are on physicians these days, just inquiring, and knowing somebody cares about us is helpful. So I think that that's one small step people can do.   Michael Hingson ** 52:42 And I think it makes sense. You know, the personal relationship is a two way one. And so we need to care about our doctors, as much as we want them to care about us. It has to be a two way street. And again, hopefully we can do things to help make life more fun for them. I know for me, I have the advantage. When I do go visit my doctor even heard the fiscal physical every year, I take a guide dog with me, so he gets a dog fixing anybody in the office gets a dog fix. So we're, we're very popular when we go in.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 53:19 That's great. That's great.   Michael Hingson ** 53:20 We're gonna have   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 53:23 little dog fixes in every office.   Michael Hingson ** 53:25 Well, and and the director of medicine, where we go discover this and so there's a mandate that we need to let him know whenever we're going to come in so that he can can also come in and he'll stand in the doorway and won't let us out until he has enough of a dog fix. So it's really kind of fun. You know, and who can complain about that? I'm certainly not going to sites that's the dog loves it.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 53:56 That's fantastic. Personal Touch. That's great. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 54:00 I think it's it's something that you know, we need to do more of their people to and it I'm I'm of the opinion that there are so many people who do thankless jobs, I love to tease TSA people when I go through airports, and work to make them smile, because they don't get nearly enough of that. And mostly, I'm pretty successful. There are a few people who take themselves too seriously. But mostly we can do pretty well at it. And I can make people laugh like they'll they'll ask me for my ID and I say things like Well, why do you need mine? Did you lose yours? Or might have if I were a kid, I'll wear a mask usually and they'll say I need to see your ID and I said What good is that gonna be I got a mask on. You know? We have fun with it.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 54:46 That's good. It's good. It's always good to keep up the spirits. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 54:51 well, I got I love to laugh at it too. So it works out well. You know, in in this New Post COVID world I guess there are a lot of things are changing, I guess it's really fair to say maybe the real, really maybe the question to ask is, do we have a post COVID world? Is there ever going to be a post COVID world,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 55:15 I think, in talking to my physician clients who are in hospitals, right now, they say that, across the United States, the wards are packed with COVID patients. And it's back, it's here, it's never left. There are different variants of COVID that are present. Immunization helps decrease the complications tremendously. The hope is that COVID will become another respiratory virus, like RSV, valenza, that we just deal with each year. As long as we keep vaccinated and keep up with those boosters, then I believe that that will decrease the amount of death and serious illness that we see from COVID.   Michael Hingson ** 56:09 Do you think that we're at some point, going to have a, I don't know, I guess it would be a live vaccine or a more traditional type vaccine that may help to do more to actually cure it, as opposed to just cutting down symptoms? And I'm man, I will say right off, I make sure I get vaccinated every chance I get.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 56:32 Yeah, I think each, each bacteria or virus that we have immunizations for are different. And so these respiratory viruses, such as influenza, COVID, they change so much, and they, they have so many variants, so many different mutations, variants, whatever you want to call it. So unfortunately, there's not one shot fits all certain bacteria that's different, or with other viruses like varicella, or herpes, or other things, other viruses that don't tend to have as many variances of a wide variety. But as we are right now with, with COVID changes so much that we're most likely going to have to have a different vaccine every year. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 57:34 I think it is absolutely amazing that we got the mRNA vaccine so quickly. And I know artificial intelligence, as they call it had something to do with helping with that. But it does say something about what we can do that we did get some backs on the vaccine so quickly. And I really wish some people who keep spreading conspiracies about oh, it's not really a vaccine, they're putting little radio monitoring devices in us, you know, and things like that would just stop that. It's it's doing such a disservice to everyone.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 58:12 Yeah, I agree. I think, unfortunately, there's a lot of mistrust within the healthcare system. And people have reasons to not trust. But I do think that that people who do spread false information that can be very dangerous.   Michael Hingson ** 58:31 Talk about having fun every time I go in for a vaccine. As soon as they give me the vaccine, I'll reach over if I have it in my right arm, I'll reach over with my left arm and slap my hand over the bandit and said, Oh, wait a minute, there's one that's trying to get away. Let me get it. And, you know, again, they think they get it in they laugh. Actually, one person wasn't sure what I meant and said there is no conspiracy. I said no, you missed the point. But, you know, I have had and my wife had no problems in dealing with the lockdown. She had rheumatoid arthritis. So it was an autoimmune thing that also made her more susceptible to such things and we were blessed at not getting COVID and and very glad to keep it that way. And you know, she passed just because she was in a wheelchair her whole life and her body just slow down and we lost her in 2022 so it's me and a dog and a cat. And none of us get COVID and we we don't mind being in the house so we're good. But I do I do get to travel now when I can find speaking engagements and I'm we're doing more of that. And I also travel on airplanes with masks. I don't see a problem with it.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 59:46 Yeah, I think seeing more and more people doing that routine.   Michael Hingson ** 59:49 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it works. Yeah, so it makes perfect sense to do. Well, how do you see Um, the whole evaluation process of what's happening in medicine, you know, going forward, what what are the major improvements that you think we will be seeing that will help mental health and everything else?   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 1:00:16 Well, wow, mental health, you just opened up a whole nother? Yeah, I know. But I would say, you know, we destigmatize mental illness as a huge goal that we need to do. And it the way life presents itself now is extremely stressful, and we all need support and help. Our brains were not, were not created to deal with such a flood of information constantly, and trying to sort all that out and it can become overwhelming. So I'm hoping that we can approach things from a compassionate, open minded point of view, to try to take care of everyone, both the health care providers, as well as the people that need treatment, and across the board the entire population. And that's really the direction that I'm hoping we all move toward.   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:23 I think we have to, we have to do something. And you know, because the flow of information isn't going to slow down. Exactly. You know, we have been doing this for more than an hour. And we could go forever. But I would like to ask if we went ahead and stopped. But could we do another one and continue this discussion? Would you want to do that? I'd be willing to do that. Sure. Yeah,   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 1:01:51 I'd be happy to,   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:52 then I suggest let's go ahead. And I want to thank you for being on unstoppable mindset, I think it will be absolutely fun to do more of this. And I'm always fascinated to, to be involved in these discussions. And, and I think it's, it's great to learn, I learned a lot and want to continue to do that. So I think it'd be fun to have another one. And I believe that people listening will agree. So I want to thank you for coming on. And I want to also just thank everyone for listening.

I   Michael Hingson ** 1:03:13 don't know whether my cat would acknowledge that she could probably use some help in doing one thing or another. But she she thinks she's the boss. So I guess we have to contend herself with that.   Dr. Joe Sherman ** 1:03:24 One, too. Yeah. Well, boss got   Michael Hingson ** 1:03:26 Yep. Oh, yeah. Oh, this one's acuity. She yells at me when she's hungry, and I have to go pet her while she eats. So she's pretty funny. But I do want to thank you for being here. And I want to thank you all for listening.

Helping business leaders level up from start up to grown up, from solopreneur to CEO's, from mediocrity to mastery. Fair warning: I don't do ‘get rich quick' or ‘failure to success in minutes' type teaching or coaching.Since 2009 you'll have seen me applying this work to become one of the fastest Master Certified facilitators in the world. I've completed, on average, a line a week of the Demartini Method since 2009 (that's over 650 lines, so you know I've done, and still do the work). I've also increased my client base, my rates, my public presence and attract people who pay my (not small) private coaching fees. Up until recently, you had to book a 1-on-1 with me or catch me after a seminar to pick my brain about how you can use the Demartini Method to do all that too. (Whether you're a facilitator or in another niche entirely.) In 2020 I launched the Maximum Growth community to make those insights accessible 24/7. (Well, almost 24/7. Still gotta sleep!) I'm inspired to educate and empower business leaders on a personal growth journey (like you) to level up. Learn more about Tanya here!Learn more about Path to Podcast Success here!
