It's the podcast about the practice of medicine, the art of medicine, the experience of medicine -- not the science of it. Not the nitty-gritty drugs, not the procedures, the parts of science that were on pathophys [pathophysiology] exams.
But it does mean we need to think beyond just the bedside sometimes. What are the things that trigger us? What are the things that take away from what we can do and what we want to do at the bedside? What are ways that we can mitigate it, that we can improve it?
And that’s what this episode is about: To look beyond just the patient in front of them and to look at bettering conditions for all patients, other clinicians, and the system as a whole.
