Keep asking “why” do get to a full understanding of what is going onAs providers we do want questions asked of us if someone is not sure about something we orderedTracey has found techniques to avoid burnout despite 24 years in emergency medicine, she says it is very individualized how you overcome burnoutBelligerent patients do cause burnout and the job to be very difficult in generalTaking intentional time to connect with your patients will help overcome burnoutTracey has advice to give patients grace Adam: purpose in life is important to avoid burnout. He believes he is called to be here. Exercise, spend time with family, move your body, work less or even work more now to work less laterForce yourself to be social on days off, even if you might not feel like it. This will often help your mental well-being.Owning your mistakes is key to avoiding burnoutUnderstand we will make mistakes and even when everything goes perfect, we cannot save the patient every time We really aren’t built to see a lot of the things we have to see in emergency medicineBe patient with the patients we deal with. They are going through something that we are not and have concerns we may not know about. They are scared, they are frustrated. You need to have a sense of humor and the ability to compartmentalize Compartmentalization helps to move on to other tasks that need to be doneKate tells a story about compartmentalizationIt is okay to set boundaries with patients that push on the limitsDeescalating belligerent patients is a skill that can be learned Support the showEverything you hear today from myself and my guests is opinion only and doesn’t represent any organizations or companies that any of us are affiliated with.
