Dr Stephen Bergman AKA Samuel Shem, author of famed ‘The House of God', is on to talk his new book. ‘Our Hospital' is the final book in Shem's Healing Quartet, about the COVID-19 pandemic and money-driven bureaucracy in medicine.  It was fun to speak with Shem to hear about his colourful life & provocative books. ‘The House of God' is a satirical novel, exposing the dark side of medicine training. It's often said that ‘The House of God' did for the art of medicine what ‘Catch-22' did for the art of war. We discuss: - Shem's reason for going into medicine (Harvard Med OR conscription to the Vietnam War) - Why Shem got into writing (and how he got F for writing in Harvard & didn't write for 4 years after that) - ‘The House of God' - His new book ‘Our Hospital'  - Shem's hope for the future of medicine & healthcare workers - The importance of sticking together and human connection Get Shem's new book here.

In this episode, Aaron is joined by psychiatrist and novelist Samuel Shem, who wrote the satirical novel House of God. Aaron and Samuel discuss Samuel's latest and final novel in the House of God series, Our Hospital. The book serves as a reflection of the truth of medicine during COVID in which hospitals are driven by profit over humanity.

A bitterly divided Congress managed to keep the federal government running for several more weeks, while House Republicans struggle — again — to choose a leader. Meanwhile, many people removed from state Medicaid rolls are not finding their way to Affordable Care Act insurance, and a major investigation by The Washington Post attributes the decline in U.S. life expectancy to more than covid-19 and opioids. Lauren Weber of The Washington Post, Victoria Knight of Axios, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KFF Health News chief Washington correspondent Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews physician-author-playwright Samuel Shem about “Our Hospital,” his new novel about the health workforce in the age of covid. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The Atlantic's “Virginia Could Decide the Future of the GOP's Abortion Policy,” by Ronald Brownstein. Sarah Karlin-Smith: The Wall Street Journal's “Children Are Dying in Ill-Prepared Emergency Rooms Across America,” by Liz Essley-Whyte and Melanie Evans. Lauren Weber: ProPublica's “Philips Kept Complaints About Dangerous Breathing Machines Secret While Company Profits Soared,” by Debbie Cenziper, ProPublica; Michael D. Sallah, Michael Korsh, and Evan Robinson-Johnson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; and Monica Sager, Northwestern University. Victoria Knight: KFF Health News' “Feds Rein In Use of Predictive Software That Limits Care for Medicare Advantage Patients,” by Susan Jaffe. Hosted on Acast.

Dr. West has developed and evaluated a comprehensive evidence-based medicine curriculum for Mayo Medical School and enacted change at the national level in the internal medicine resident career plans and current education climate. Today we further our conversations we've had previously about wellness and burnout by taking a magnifying glass to the role of the patient-doctor relationship and how this helps us as trainees and physicians find purpose and passion in our career. Welcome to Leading the Rounds!Questions we asked: Why did you start doing “wellness Wednesdays” on Twitter?Are patients more aware of physician burnout now more than ever? In the airline industry, there are stories of pilots cancelling flights due to fatigue and to promote safety. How would that play out in the healthcare system? How has Mayo Clinic been able to build in layers of backup to improve work environment and give trainees more time off? What are ways that residency programs can support residents long term fulfillment?Are medical students more resilient than the general public?  How do we break the cycle of burnout being passed onto new trainees? How does Mayo Clinic's values mitigate bullying in training? Quotes and Ideas:“We're taught not to show our patients and our communities the stresses we are experiencing... but healthcare professionals are shockingly human first.” “Healthcare professional and physician burnout is not the patient's responsibility.”M.V.P.'s of Healthcare = patients They give us Meaning, Value, and Purpose “Dehumanization and depersonalization is one of the hallmarks of burnout.” “In our current training, we have to have layers of safety built in.” Swiss cheese model of avoiding errors “Our own professionalism is used sometimes in a perverse way to say that you will step up; you will always step up.” “We forget why we're here.” “Despite having higher burnout rates… physicians also have higher levels of resilience than the general public.” Primary value at Mayo Clinic, “the needs of the patient come first” Jobs, demands, resources model= “distress and burnout result when the demands of a job chronically exceed the resources available to meet those demands.” “We work in healthcare teams, and the best team players lift those around them up.” Book Suggestion: The House of God by Samuel Shem

"There is a frenzy of trying to use technology to re-establish the healing human connection in the doctor-patient interaction. These efforts range from advanced transcription of voice-to-record, scribes who do the data recording during a patient encounter, and so on. The IT department at NYU Grossman Medical School, where I teach, worked with the dominant and much-loathed electronic medical record to create a patient-focused dashboard for each doctor. The dashboard both improved quality of outcomes and reduced costs. These attempts are useful, but they don’t address the root cause of this inhuman encounter: billing, the link of patient data to cash. In each of these tech improvements, the doctor is still forced by the money-people to massage the bill for the highest private insurance payments. There is a war across the screen — and like all wars, it’s about money. On one side, doctors are forced by the accountants to bill the most. On the other side, insurance people are striving to pay the least. No 'program' or 'bot' could do this job. It’s trapping doctors in the epidemic called burnout, moral injury, or just plain abuse. Forcing us to lie, to provide maximum payment. So long Hippocratic Oath. I think the solution is obvious. Why are VA hospitals’ electronic medical record systems widely preferred to any of the other ones out there? Because they are not-for-profit billing machines. All across the U.S., each VA diagnosis and treatment has approximately the same reimbursement. No war across the screen. No Hippocratic hypocrisy." Samuel Shem is a psychiatrist. He shares his story and discusses his books, the House of God (https://amzn.to/3cVEOZc) and Man’s 4th Best Hospital. (https://amzn.to/3rFUhAH)

An Evening with Samuel Shem, MD

Samuel Shem, aka Stephen Bergman MD, wrote The House of God after surviving his medical residency. 40 years later, he reprises the characters for his most recent novel, Man's 4th Best Hospital. He says the best way to talk about history is through fictional writing. In Man's 4th Best Hospital, he shares his observations for the need for healthcare reform, using the humor, enthusiasm, sadness, and honesty of some of the beloved characters from The House of God. This book will definitely give you an insiders view of what's wrong with today's healthcare system, and why physician (and nurse) burnout is so common. Listen today and find out: What the electronic medical record is really about What he feels is missing in healthcare What is is going to take to fix it What unique class he teaches to NYU med students

Dr. Samuel Shem on Breaking it Down with Frank MacKay - Groundbreaking Author, Covid 19 Survivor by Frank MacKay

Jonathan, Chris, and special guest Nicholas Koziris discuss the popular novel House of God by Samuel Shem, a thinly veiled fictional account of Shem's year as a medical intern at a major hospital in Boston, published in 1978. They discuss despair, suicide, and doctors lusting after busty nurses. But they mostly look at how much medicine has (or hasn't) changed in the past 50 years.

Dear Friends & Colleagues, Our guest this week is Samuel Shem.  Many of you will immediately recognize the pseudonym for the author of the classic piece of medical fiction – ...

Hey there word nerds!  Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Samuel Shem, a novelist, playwright, and activist. He is a Professor in Medical Humanities at NYU School of Medicine, and Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome. His novels include The House of God, Fine, Mount Misery, In the Heart of the Universe, and The Spirit of the Place (which won two national "Best Literary Novel" awards in 2008 and 2009). He is coauthor with his wife, Janet Surrey, of The Buddha's Wife, and the award-winning Off-Broadway play Bill W. and Dr. Bob, about the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous, and also We Have to Talk: Healing Dialogues Between Men and Women. Also, just a quick heads up, we have a teeny bit of explicit language towards the end of the interview. Due to the nature of the discussion I decided not to bleep anything out, but I wanted to let you know in case you have small children in the room or you, yourself, are not comfortable with explicit language. In this episode Samuel and I discuss: The desire that inspired the novel  Putting parts of yourself into a novel Fictionalizing true things Writing -- or not writing -- for a specific audience The necessity of character change How computers depersonalize medicine  Writing a sequel that still stands alone Plus, his #1 tip for writers.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,Our guest this week is Samuel Shem.  Many of you will immediately recognize the pseudonym for the author of the classic piece of medical fiction - The House of God. I grew up in healthcare reading his book over and over again. For those of you who are unfamiliar with that piece of fiction, I would urge you to read it. It is a brutally honest, true-to-life, incredibly humorous depiction of the unjust abuses of medical training in one of the most prestigious and prototypical internship/residency programs in our country. It is also one of the most empathetic gifts anyone has ever offered up to those of us who endured medical training.Now, nearly four decades after the publication of that classic novel, Dr. Shem has published another book, Man’s 4th Best Hospital.  Whereas the House of God chronicled the trauma inflicted on doctors (and nurses) in training, this book provides some unique perspective on the dehumanizing aspects of healthcare delivery for patients and providers. Shem is currently Professor of Medicine in Medical Humanities at the NYU School of Medicine.  He is a novelist, playwright, and, for three decades, a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty. His novels include The House of God, Mount Misery, and Fine. He and his wife, Janet Surrey, co-authored the award-winning Off-Broadway play Bill W. and Dr. Bob, the story of the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.  Dr. Shem is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School; and earned a PhD as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. In this interview, you’ll hear:Shem’s understanding of writing as a way to empathetically resist the dehumanization of healthcare delivery.The unique way in which Shem distills and articulates the fundamental problems facing doctors and patients in healthcare today.The “big resist” and the solutions Shem shares to counter the root cause problems facing healthcare delivery today.Some of Shem’s opinions will, no doubt, be controversial, and some may consider his solutions extreme. I found Dr. Shem’s analysis to be thought provoking and disarming in its honesty and simplicity.  And while many of his observations are not earth shattering, he finds a way to say them in new and insightful ways. Whether you agree with him or not, what’s clear is that Shem is coming from a place of tremendous respect and empathy for patients and providers. Shem’s novel and his commentary are incredibly topical and timely.  Many, if not most, would agree that our healthcare delivery system is inadequate, poorly aligned to the healthcare needs of our populations, financially unsustainable, and in need of significant disruption. What I found most compelling about his book and this interview is Dr. Shem’s unrelenting hopefulness. He deeply believes that as long as we are connected with one another in just pursuits; as long as we can all have a voice in honest, open dialogue; as long as we are able to speak truth to power; as long as we can be critical thinkers and creators, and as long as we maintain a mutual empathy and a respectful sense of humor, we can change the world for the better. What his recent critics have misunderstood about Shem is that he is a human rights activist as much as he is an artist. He is not, in my opinion, writing for the purpose of winning awards or critical acclaim, although that may occur. He is here to actively resist the dehumanizing forces in healthcare, to catalyze positive change, and to make the world different and better.      We recently honored the memory of Martin Luther King Jr who said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”  Sam Shem, in the tradition of MLK, refuses to be silent. He is calling us to resist silence and become active participants in the creative effort to humanize healthcare for all.    Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth MD 

Samuel Shem reflects on why “The House of God” remains relevant, why the doctor-patient relationship is faltering and what can be done to combat the “abuse” of doctors.   The post Episode 16: ‘The House of God’ author Samuel Shem appeared first on Fixing Healthcare Podcast.

In this episode, Nick continues his conversation with Samuel Shem. 

Doctor Stephen Bergman now goes by Samuel Shem and lives outside Boston, but in the 1970s, he published arguably one of the most impactful books on medicine in recent memory -- the cult classic, the House of God Newsweek named the House of God the second best satirical piece of fiction of all time behind Don Quixote. In this conversation, Shem tells me about his motivation for the House of God and reveals that there will be a sequel in 2019 on the current state of medicine.

Ray Noble talks to Samuel Shem, the acclaimed author of The House of God. The House of God, published in 1978, has in many ways become a cult book in the medical profession. It follows a group of medical interns at Beth Israel Hospital over the course of a year in the early 1970s, focusing on the psychological harm and dehumanization caused by their residency training.  For this dialogue we took the opportunity to catch up with Samuel Shem when he visited Oxford last year.  We hope to have a more extensive interview with Samuel Shem in the near future. 

The summer before I started medical school, required reading for the incoming students was the novel The House of God by Samuel Shem. Inside that novel was a blunt look at the inhumanity of the American medical system. Law Three from The House of God states: “At a cardiac arrest, the first procedure is to take your own pulse.” Here's a variation on the third law that can help you develop the mindset necessary to grow the profitability of your ideal medical practice and to grow as a human being.

Have you read the novel “The House of God” by psychiatrist Samuel Shem? I read it when I was in medical school and it deeply influenced me.   The book tells a captivating story of what it's like to be a Harvard resident with lots of humor, drama and wisdom.   I've had the great pleasure to interview Samuel Shem for you. In this conversation we cover lots of ground like: The best advice he ever got What his creative process looks like How he came up with the idea for The House of God How failure has set him up for success The quote he lives by And much, much more
