"Guiding kindly illustrates mentorship, whether it be in the dojo or in an academic medical setting. Regardless of one's stage in medical training, certain errors in patient management will be made … this is part of the learning process. It is the role of the mentor (i.e., attending physician to resident, resident to medical student, attending physician to medical student) to help identify these errors, determine their causes, and work through solutions, while being cognizant of the educational level of the learner. Through all the chaos of the House of Pain, Doc would remind us to find calmness, controlling our breathing and minds. Above all, he encouraged us to pursue good health as good health precedes good life. If the House of Pain was a blacksmith, then its teachings are the forged, intangible swords I have gained to become a better man and future physician." Casey Paul Schukow is a medical student. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "What I learned about medicine in the House of Pain." Reflect and earn 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CME for this episode.
