Podcast appearances and mentions of pamela wible md

In this episode, Dr. Wible and I talk about the systemic factors that lead to physician suicide, particularly those pertaining to medical education. We look at the additional emotional and moral distress caused by COVID-19 and racial and social inequities. We end by discussing the kinds of transparency, reform, and leadership required to create a more humane medical system.

Sooooo...we are just gonna dive in. Some of you may remember our discussion with Pamela Wible MD about physician suicide. It was compelling. Well suicides don’t happen in a vacuum and so speaking about things that might drive a physician to despair is a pretty important. So we are gonna discuss moral injury. You can google that and get a definition for moral injury but I think that it is better to just get a couple of the folks who are deeply involved in this topic and trying to raise awareness of it. SO I was about to get ahold of Wendy Dean MD and Simon Talbot MD and have a chat with them. I challenge you to think about burnout and moral injury in context and then of course, if you have questions, check out the associated links below. It was a great interview and I want to thank both Wendy and Simon for carving out their time to spread the message of a very real thing that negatively affects physicians and sometimes, causes them to decide that ending their lives is the only solution.

Are health services around the world wilfully blind to the problem of dangerously long hours being worked by junior medics?Vivienne Nunis speaks to doctors in Australia and America about how tiredness and depression are not only ruining their lives, but also pose a threat to the safety of patients going under the knife or receiving prescriptions. And it's a worldwide problem - as Sydney-based doctor Yumiko Kadota discovered when a blog she wrote attracted similar stories of exhaustion from Colombia to Poland. Author Margaret Heffernan says the culture of many health systems is one of wilful blindness to the physical limits of human employees, while the campaigning American medic Pamela Wible MD explains how it is driving many hospital staff to suicide.(Picture: Exhausted surgeon resting his head on operating theatre table; Credit: Universal Images Group via Getty Images)

In this best of throwback episode, we explore one of my very first [and best] podcast interviews in 2015.  For the show notes, loads of resources, and tons of free stuff, visit the podcast website at www.doctorfreedompodcast.com.  Back in 2015, I was working on networking with other authors and experts who can speak to the issues that physicians face every day. For example, what can physicians do to become financially free and truly enjoy their job? How can they look forward to going to work every day?  That's why I thought I'd bring a special guest to the podcast, Dr. Pamela Wible. Pamela Wible, MD, is a family physician and pioneer in the ideal medical care movement. In 2004, Dr. Wible left assembly-line medicine and held town hall meetings where she invited citizens to design their own ideal clinic. Open since 2005,  Dr. Wible's innovative practice has inspired physicians to create ideal clinics nationwide. This interview reveals the following: – How she started up & maintains a simple, yet highly profitable (90%!) margin practice – The secrets to systematizing & automating a practice (Including revealing the billing tool she uses) – What critical skills doctors miss in their training (Hint: they do this every day) – How much money doctors should spend on advertising when they own their own practice – When physicians should go to counseling to maintain their sanity & inner peace (and who they shouldn't go to)

I felt like they were trying to slaughter my soul in medical education. I held onto it... the way that I did that by the way was to continue crying and feeling, I refused to get numb. I know they wanted me to become numb, and I couldn't allow myself to stop crying, because I felt like the moment I stopped crying, they would win. I was not willing to let go of my soul. Dr. Pamela Wible is a family physician in Eugene, Oregon and founder of Ideal Medical Care, a Family practice model designed by patients and for patients. This is a woman on one mission, to bring the humanity back to the healing profession.    You may know Pamela through her work studying the taboo subject of physician suicide, but her message is ultimately about uplifting, humanizing, and transforming medical care. To spread her voice she has been featured on mediums such as NPR, TEDMED, Ted Talks, ABC News, CNN, Washington Post, and much more. She has authored books including Pet goats and Pap smears, 101 medical adventures to open your heart and mind, and Physician Suicide Letters rated a #1 Amazon best Seller in Medicine and Psychology. Dr. Pamela Wible is a leader of a revolutionary but simple mission, to heal the healers. It is by living out this dream she undoubtedly is healing the masses.    My call to action for this week is for everyone listening to support Pamela's latest work in the “Do No Harm” documentary where we learn about Doctors who take their own lives and the systemic issues that are causing it. I ask each listener to go onto Kickstarter and pledge at least $1, but come on guys can we make it $5?

Facebook       Instagram      Twitter Link Link   Sample of the conversation: A Deep Depression My only value, as a physician in the United States, felt like a revenue-generating robot for corporate medicine, in seven-minute increments. If I wasn't willing to just do a good job in seven minutes, document everything, and bill at a higher level than I actually provided treatment, I was not considered a good doctor in the United States. I mean the only thing that dug me out of that first year of medical school, that depression, was this vision that I had for my future. So when my future vision was crushed by the reality of what it's like to practice what I call assembly line medicine, I felt like I was adrift and there was no reason to be alive. What is a common "blind spot" that you have noticed when it comes to your work in healing health professionals? I think the blind spot is that we suffer silently and we stay in denial for way too long individually, we don't even recognize that we're suffering until it gets out of hand. So I really really believe that we should start bonding with each other as brothers and sisters in medicine, asking for help, sharing our stories.   And, you know I don't think I even answered your previous question, which is how do I handle all these phone calls which are so terrible, and how I handle them is I listen to them [the doctors]. Then I recognize my shared humanity with the person on the phone and I left them know, that they are having the normal reaction that anyone would have to sort of a sick medical education system I think we can all agree that we can do better in our medical education system than we are doing now.  What does your ideal medical system look like? The foundation would be certainly holistic and inclusive of all healing modalities and not just reductionist allopathic medicine. Embracing Osteopathic Medicine, Acupuncture, Mind-body medicine... you know all these different types of healing modalities have been around for centuries and have been discarded because I guess they're not easily reimbursed and they don't have the medical pyrotechnics like all the cool stuff that we're discovering... I would embrace everyone so it would be inclusive. Also we need to use modern teaching techniques. When you take a gifted child who is highly-sensitive and self-motivated, teaching them by terror is counter productive. They are already wanting to learn you don't need to scare them, or hit them, or terrorize them, so I think motivating people with rewards and positivity [is better], versus the pimping fear-based educational system. The third thing I want to say is, I really do believe medical students should design their own medical schools, just like patients should design their own medical clinics. Being 100% there for your patients: "I helped this woman lose her virginity" I have gone with a patient, I won't give all the details, this is kind of one of my more favorite stories, but (and I do have her permission to share this but I can't give too much detail), I had a patient who was wanting to be sexually active and was very scared of having sex.  She wanted to have kids and she was in her later twenties and she just had anxiety about feeling unsafe with men.  We got to the point where I literally went with her on a date, almost...I mean it's the wildest story which I probably can't reveal online, but just put it this way, I helped this woman lose her virginity, okay, and I did this as part of my job of being a doctor and helping somebody who wanted to have a child and not be afraid of men.
