In Spirit of a Hummingbird, Felicia Thai Heath, the daughter of Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants who met in the United States, gives us a disquieting, eventful memoir based on her early childhood on the run with her father—a notorious Vietnamese kingpin and escaped convict—and her conflicted mother. Clever and mature beyond her age, young Felicia experienced poverty and witnessed abuse as her dysfunctional family bounced around in the United States and Canada. Amid all the tumult and terror, she found ways to love her family, educate herself, navigate her world, and discover her potential. Now she must decide how to live with the past—and whether her future can include her father.Spirit of a Hummingbird was an instant Amazon Best Seller in Survival Biographies, in Emigration & Immigration Studies (Books), Asian American History, and in Poverty Studies.

On this episode of the Pursuit of Health Podcast we continue our investigation into the topic of Physician Burnout with Dr. Laura Vater.  Dr. Vater has gained a much deserved recognition for her approach to this issue by focusing on Humanism in Medicine. She received her Bachelor of Science and minor in Poverty Studies at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. She then went on to complement her skill set with a master of Public Health degree at the University of Pittsburgh where she focused on Behavioral and Community Health.  She returned to Indiana to complete her residency in Internal medicine and this Spring will complete a rigorous fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Indiana University School of Medicine.She is the recipient of many accolades including being selected as 1 of every 1000 residents to be a member of the Gold Humanism Honor Society. Though early in her career, she has already penned several research and narrative essay publications, is a regularly invited public speaker, and has a growing online platform addressing Humanism in Healthcare. She is also the creator of a very useful tool - the SMILE scale -  providers can use to help prioritize their own health.During our discussion, Dr Vater shares the origin of her decision to become a physician and oncologist. This very personal story revolved around her mother as a role model who entered medical school later in adulthood when Dr Vater was already a teenager. Her interest in medicine was further heightened by the experience of a close family friend who lived through the challenges of cancer. Ultimately, confronting her mother's sudden life threatening illness during Dr. Vater's first year of medical school led her in the direction of Humanism in Medicine.Dr. Vater reveals the current challenges in healthcare that take the Humanity out of Medicine and how she has been working diligently to reconnect with her true self and her patients and maintain the joy in her work through Humanism. She explains that Humanism stresses the importance of physicians establishing a connection with patients and caring for physicians as humans too.Dr. Vater opens the door for our listeners into the concept of Compassion Fatigue and the associated  risk of clinicians losing empathy in training and practice. She believes that it is important for everyone involved in healthcare to continue talking about Compassion Fatigue in order to get it out in the open - thus restoring our vital human interconnections and preventing physician burnout. Dr. Vater and Dr. Fethke share their love of teaching medicine to enthusiastic students as a way to find rejuvenation and remind us all why we entered medicine in the first place.  In so doing, they also warn about the risks of mentors modeling bad behaviors that lead the students towards being hardened and less empathetic.Our guest and host find that they also both share a passion for writing about their experiences as physicians and the stories of those that have taught them the most about being a doctor - their patients.  They hope that this comes through not only in their  narrative publications, but in the medical records of their patients. These are human beings and we are honored and humbled to be invited into their lives and tell their stories. The discussion with Dr. Vater finished with her introduction and explanation of the SMILE scale she established. Listen closely as she takes us through this simple yet powerful tool to help maintain Humanism in Healthcare.Dr. Eric Fethke and the team at The Pursuit of Health Podcast look forward to your comments on this and any of our prior episodes.  We can be reached on Facebook and Instagram at drfethkemd and our website at drfethkemd.com.

Why are people leaving the workforce, and what is the downside of not going to a job everyday? Scott Winship... Senior Fellow and Director of Poverty Studies for the American Enterprise Institute... breaks down a new Congressional report and chats with Boyd about how we can combat what many people are calling the "Great Resignation."  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gabriella had a conversation with Aidan Crowley, an incoming first-year medical student at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.

Join Scott Winship, Director of Poverty Studies at AEI in conversation with AEI's President, Robert Doar, and AEI visiting scholar, Brad Wilcox in part one of an event on child allowances. President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats are pushing to transform the child tax credit into a nearly universal, unconditional per-child benefit. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) recently announced his own version of a child allowance to mixed reviews on the political right. A child allowance would help families raise children and balance work and caregiving while promoting fertility and reducing abortion. However, libertarians object to the government subsidizing parenting, deficit hawks blanch at the cost, and advocates of limited government warn that a child allowance is the first step toward a universal basic income. It also threatens to increase the number of families without a working parent and the number of children raised by a single parent. This event will explore the arguments for and against child allowances. Join us again next week for part 2!

Jonah is joined by Scott Winship – the director of Poverty Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and fresh off the heels of his position within Senator Mike Lee’s Social Capital Project. Jonah asks Scott about the persistence of poverty in American society, and what progress has been made both recently and over the long term. Then, they get into why some of the obstacles that have to be removed in order to lift poor people up are more intractable than others. In part, Scott thinks that these difficulties “show how we’re hardwired to think about these problems in economic terms rather than in terms of social bonds,” and that certain data may blind us when searching for the real issues.   Show Notes: -Scott’s research at AEI -Richard Burkhauser on poverty in the 60s versus now -The Social Capital Project -Raj Chetty on people doing better than their parents -Mr. Piketty’s big book of Marxiness -Jonah and Peter Beinart See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Winship is Director of Poverty Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Before joining AEI, Dr. Winship served as the executive director of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) and worked at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, the Brookings Institution and the Pew Charitable Trusts. On this episode, Scott joins Robert and Phoebe to talk about economic inequality and poverty in America.  

Children who are born and raised in two-parent families are significantly more likely to avoid poverty and other adverse social outcomes but how that happens is unclear. Brent talks to Scott Winship, Director of Poverty Studies at AEI and co-author of a new report on family structure in America entitled “https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/2020/7/the-demise-of-the-happy-two-parent-home?fbclid=IwAR1jCsk4L__ydljFo3UKpGLJVeF1fCgpWefU6EPc27NUZAXMqnwxnl-hL4A (The Demise of the Happy Two-Parent Home)”. They discuss family stability, economic security, and how family structure contributes to the success for children.

Interview with Dr. Laura Vater, resident physician and SMILE Score creator [Show Summary] Dr. Laura Vater is a current resident in internal medicine, future hematologist/oncologist, mom, and inventor of The SMILE Score, a tool to help patients and health care providers simplify and prioritize health in their lives. She is also the mother of a beautiful little girl. How does an MD/MPH, resident and mom have the time to develop useful tool for measuring how well we are prioritizing our own health? Let’s find out in the interview with Dr. Laura Vater. Life as a doctor and mom and how the SMILE Score helps [Show Notes] Our guest today is Dr. Laura Vater. Dr. Vater did her undergrad at Notre Dame, majoring in Biological Sciences and Poverty Studies. She earned her MPH from the University of Pittsburgh and her MD at Indiana University School of Medicine, where she is currently a resident in internal medicine. She is also the developer of The SMILE Score, which we will learn about in just a few minutes. Can you tell us about your background outside of medicine? Where you grew up? What you like to do for fun? [2:11] All of my family is from Minnesota. We moved to Indiana when I was a child for my dad’s job. We planned to move back, but then my mom decided she wanted to go to graduate school and then medical school, enrolling at age 37 when I was 9. Today all of my family still live in Indiana. In terms of what I like to do for fun, I have an almost three-year-old daughter and I’m a resident so I don’t have lots of time, but I love to be outside. I worked at Rocky Mountain State Park and just overall I love to hike and travel to national parks. I also love to read. How did you know you wanted to be a doctor? [4:36] My mom says I knew I wanted to be a doctor before her. I had a coach diagnosed with metastatic cancer when I was very young. I went with her to treatments and was with her when she passed away. This experience was very meaningful to me and I realized, that I wanted to be that person that helps someone navigate a serious illness - who lets them know they are not alone in that. What was the hardest part of the med school application process for you? [6:42] I went to Notre Dame and pursued a science degree. I had a lot of experience in global and public health so I took three years between graduation and medical school – I took a gap year and then got my MPH. I took the MCAT a few years after taking the rigorous courses, and I wish I had taken it when I was fresh. Why did you decide to do a gap year between undergrad and your MPH? [8:06] I had watched my mother go through the rigors of medical school and medical training. She started when I was 9 and started practicing medicine when I was 16 so I had grown up watching her go through it. All along I knew medicine was the right field for me, but I knew how challenging it would be. I was very interested in global and public health so decided to spend a year teaching in Haiti first. At Notre Dame they have a career fair and a service fair, where they actively encourage graduates to pursue service, and there was an opportunity to serve in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. They needed help with teachers and community health, and it seemed like a great way to pursue something different. Why did you choose to do the MPH? [10:41] My advisor in college was an expert in public health, and he exposed me to concepts in public health I hadn’t been exposed to elsewhere in science. It was really interesting to me to think about prevention. In the public health field we refer to a model where people are falling into the river, and the hospital/ICU is downstream pulling people out. But who is walking upstream to understand why people are falling into the river in the first place? That is what public health and prevention experts do – they look at the socio-economic determinants of health, and ways to make people healthier and happier through behavior change and social justic...
