Pediatricians get up every day thinking about how to meet the needs of children. And very often we forget about our own health. In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia and Dr. Michelle Fiscus discusses physician burnout, what it means to face identity challenges as a physician, and overcoming these challenges.  Dr. Michelle Fiscus is a board-certified pediatrician who practiced general pediatrics in Franklin, TN for 17 years before joining the Tennessee Department of Health in 2016. She most recently served as medical director of the Tennessee Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program until she was terminated from that position for sharing a memo regarding a 34-year-old case law that allows certain minors to consent for their own medical care. Dr. Fiscus was thrust into the national spotlight after she released a statement shedding light on the choice of those in leadership in Tennessee state government to place their political agendas over the best interest of the people they serve. She has used this platform to support the work of public health and reinforce the importance of vaccines and other public health measures in ending the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fiscus is an associate clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. She is a past president of the Tennessee Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and now serves on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pediatrics as District IV Chair.   [00:01] Dr. MIchelle Fiscus Shares Her Story With Us Why she went into pediatrics  Suffering from significant burnout that led her to Public Health Going into the Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program [11:52] Covid-19, the Vaccine Rollout, and Controversy  Dr. Fiscus' role in COVID mitigation and responses Tennessee's hesitation in promoting COVID-19 vaccines Controversy and pushback regarding vaccination in Tennessee Dr. Fiscus choosing to acknowledge the expiration of her executive service [21:06] The Interference of Politics and Public Health The overstepping of political opinion into COVID-19 management  Dr. Fiscus' exposure to National and International news  How it's been for Dr. Fiscus and the difficulty and challenges of this exposure The toll on mental health when facing criticism and pushback  [32:54] Being a Disruptor in Pediatrics What's next for Dr. Fiscus?   Pediatricians taking the darkest punches and overcoming challenges  If you could go back to when you were in residency what would you tell yourself?   [42:57] Closing Segment   Connect with Dr. Michelle Fiscus on twitter @drfixus Final takeaways: Pursue your passion  Burn out looks like exhaustion  and unhappiness Being a pediatrician can look like many things  The right thing keeps me going; I can move the needle, I am a problem solver, I will hold others accountable in the face of misinformation Key Quotes: “If you know that there's something that you would just love, then figure out how to go get it. You have to make yourself a little bit vulnerable to get there. But don't be afraid to pursue the thing that you think is going to make you happiest.” - Dr. Michelle Fiscus “I honestly couldn't stomach the interference of politics in public health. Just the unwillingness to understand that the decisions that are being made affect real lives and are causing real deaths and real suffering, and real orphans and real impact to our healthcare system.” - Dr. Michelle Fiscus “As you get up every day and think about how to meet the needs of kids, remember to give yourself a moment of grace. “ - Dr. Lia Gaggino  Connect with Dr. Fiscus on twitter @drfixus If you'd like to connect with me, you can find me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-lia-gaggino-80322a31/ (LinkedIn), https://www.facebook.com/DrLiaGaggino/...

Dr. Michelle Fiscus, the former top vaccine official for the government of the state of Tennessee fired earlier this year because prominent political figures didn't approve of the evidence-based education she and her office were providing, tells her story, talks about her work, and offers a cautionary tale on the politicization of public health.  

A year after adults in the U.S. began getting vaccinated against COVID-19, children ages 5 and up are now eligible for the shot. So far, uptake has been slow – in part because of parents' concerns over vaccine safety. On the latest episode of The Dose, pediatrician and American Academy of Pediatrics board member Michelle Fiscus, M.D., and the Commonwealth Fund's Rachel Nuzum shed light on challenges and opportunities in raising child vaccination rates. One downstream concern is a growing trend of resistance to other childhood vaccines. As Dr. Fiscus says, if “vaccine hesitancy continues to build with the routine childhood vaccines, I am very concerned about the types of outbreaks that we're going to be fighting over the next years.”

“You know, the government has told us that we have to put children in car seats, we have to wear seat belts, we can't drive when we're drunk. There are lots of ways in which the government has intervened on behalf of public health, and this is really one of the most important ones that we've ever had.” Dr. Michelle (Shelley) Fiscus, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pediatrics District IV (Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina), Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University, former Medical Director of the Tennessee Department of Health's Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program In today's episode, Dr. Jen Barna speaks with Dr. Michelle Fiscus to hear a cautionary tale that is very relevant to the times we are living in today. Dr. Michelle Fiscus is a board-certified pediatrician and public health official who practiced general pediatrics in Franklin, TN for 17 years before serving in public health. She served as the Medical Director of the Tennessee Department of Health's Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program until she was terminated in July, 2021 for sharing factual information based upon Tennessee law, around the rights of teenagers to make medical choices for themselves, including the right to be vaccinated against COVID-19. On today's episode, we hear her story and a frank conversation around dealing with rampant misinformation around vaccines.    Dr. Shelley Fiscus is an Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. She is a past-president of the Tennessee Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and now serves on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pediatrics as District IV Chairperson, representing Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and the Carolinas.   Find full transcripts of DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast episodes on the DocWorking Blog  How many coaches do you think your favorite actors and athletes have worked with over the years in order to achieve such extraordinary success?   What if you had a team of trusted thinking partners, experienced coaches who have helped hundreds of physicians overcome obstacles and who know what works?    What if you were part of a community of like-minded physicians from across the nation, across specialties and career stages?

Summary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions.
