Join us for this engaging episode of "Stand Up (for) Doctors!" Supporting doctors; offering hope!
Dr Amy-Jo Farrow is an Occupational Health Physician in the U.K., and a burnout coach, helping exhausted doctors thrive. Olivia Morris is the Co-Founder and CEO of Verity Barrington and Doctors Living in Ireland, having been a physician advocate for the past 10 years.
We discuss how doctors know about healthy living and what to recommend to their patients, yet they frequently do not take care of themselves in the same way. We dive into some reasons behind that, and how it's almost seen as a "badge of honor" not to take care of one's basic needs during a work shift. That is not sustainable and should not be the culture! We talk about the need to help doctors discover solutions that can be adapted for each physician's unique life.
We each share a vulnerable story of how as a physician, a physician's wife, and a healthcare professional, in a time of crisis, how the notion of "the patient always come first," no matter the personal cost, took its toll.
Doctors having an identity outside of their primary employment is so important, and can include building a portfolio career, exploring hobbies...whatever brings you joy and gets you energized about life!
Message to doctors: Physicians need to practice radical self-compassion. Know that there are options out there, and people who can help you. Never feel like it's just you, it is not, and there is so much support available!
Message to patients: If you come across a "grumpy" doctor they may be having a bad day, or missing an important family milestone to be there to care for you. Be compassionate towards another human being, it can make all the difference.
Doctors AND patients need to take responsibility to restore the human connection in healthcare!

Think your GP's just for sniffles and check-ups? Think again!
Family doctors like Dr. Cherie Salisbury are unsung heroes in the healthcare saga, showcasing remarkable versatility and dedication. From diagnosing diverse ailments before noon to tackling women's health, Dr. Salisbury of Novant Health Primary Care NoDa epitomizes the essence of family medicine - a holistic, all-encompassing approach that puts patients first.
As our frontline warriors, they're not just prescribing meds; they're empowering us with knowledge and choices for a healthier life. They bridge the gaps to specialty care but will spare no effort in addressing whatever they can in-house. Dr. Salisbury's mantra, "If I can treat it, I will" - is a testament to the commitment these physicians have to our wellbeing. And with mental health soaring on priority lists, family docs are stepping into roles once reserved for specialists, because no one should have to navigate such challenges alone.
Commendably, our family physicians also wear the educator hat, boosting health literacy and navigating patient skepticism with unfathomable empathy. Who needs an Internet search when your GP can be your guide in the complex world of healthcare?
So next time you visit your family doctor, remember you're witnessing a healthcare superhero in action! 🌟

Medical providers often find ourselves caring for everyone around us, driven by our deep desire to help others. This can lead to providers taking on the emotional burdens of others as their own.
While helping others is a noble trait, it's crucial to ask ourselves: are we grounded? Do we truly know who we are on a deep, visceral level?
Understanding ourselves is essential. It helps us distinguish between our emotions and those of others. Without this self-awareness, we risk becoming emotional sponges, absorbing the feelings of those around us.
At Rx for The Business of Medicine, we encourage all medical providers to invest time in self-reflection. Know what is yours and what isn't. This clarity will not only improve our well-being but also enhance our ability to care for others effectively. #MentalHealth#SelfAwareness#MedicalProfessionals#Codependency#Wellbeing

Consider creating an advanced-care directive today. #healthcare#medicalwishes#advancedcaredirective
