I wanted to turn and get out of the room as quick as I could.
No, it's a great question, and there's a lot of skepticism.
Why are we doing this?
How can this possibly relate to what we're doing?
And I think it fits in with this idea that medical training is to some extent an attempt to shape people into a certain mold.
And I see the wisdom of that, but I think it has to be balanced.
We need our individual stories, we need time to play, to have fun, to do more than just run through checklists and
I guess for those people I would say at least try it out.
But I know there were people who have resisted that, who I think it may be good for.
I've had trainees and other people who are more advanced and they don't see what the link is.
They don't understand it.
Yeah, I think we get a lot of messages across to the trainees about, you know, be a good person, be curious about your patients.
But then I think a lot of what's modeled for them is very much about getting the symptom list down and making sure they've done a complete job.
And we fear that we won't do those things.
We obviously are very responsible and we want to do a a very thorough workup on our patients, but I think we lose.
That gradually.
And part of it is maybe the tyranny of what we all internalize and think and expect ourselves to do under those circumstances.
And so we don't do that.
And it's interesting to me, even four days ago, I had the same experience where our resident was really struggling to connect with a patient who was growing more and more irritated.
And, you know, it was a last-minute Friday consultation.
