    As a physician of 15 years I know the truth in this talk. I continuously struggle with suicide and depression.
    The occasional patient who seemed to need my help served as a lifeline. It's as if I need to be alive in order to help this particular patient. I consider these succession of patients as God's grace.

    Dr. King hits close to home as a current medical student myself. Going through medical school is so hard, every day I have information shoveled into my brain with no break before the next day’s material. We learn everything that can happen to the human body, whether a common ailment, or something we may never see. It doesn’t get easier after the first two years of medical school. Third year we are placed into a hospital and told to morph everything we’ve spent the last two years into a clinical view. We don’t know what we are doing even though the doctors we rotate with expect us to. The pressure to know everything, to help every patient, and to impress our preceptors is intense. We learn and grow, but then fourth year hits, now we must do the same thing as third year, but at a hospital where we want to do our residency at. It’s hard to find time for ourselves, time to exercise, time to be with family and friends, time to grow outside of medicine. How are doctors expected to maintain proper mental health if they can’t devote even five minutes to their own mental health? I’ve wondered this same thing every day for the past two years. I’ve dedicated my life to the well-being and health of my future patients, to practice the principle of beneficence, or doing good, to all of them, but what about the well-being and doing good for myself and for my family? My spouse and child struggle as much as I do through this, and that’s something I see every day. For a doctor to do good for their patients, they must first do good to themselves. We must allow and push for doctors to have their own time, get their own help, and focus on themselves so that they can better treat we the patients.

      STOP! take a deep breath, take a walk and be present for those few minutes. Going for a jog, or going for a walk always helped me get "out of my head" so to speak. Then when you approach studying again, you feel more in control and feel that the task at hand is more doable. It helped me a lot through medical school. I also found and fell in love with weight training. It is a blessing to lift weights and "turn the brain off" . Good luck and Godspeed!

    I recently created a short film on the experience I had when leaving medicine. I had my own reasons for leaving, but what I can tell you is that the leaving is an incredibly difficult process in itself, but it is possible. There is the pre-leaving, leaving, and post-leaving experiences, and each is emotionally taxing. Most people who become Doctors have dedicated their lives to it, so it is incredibly difficult to hear the pain some feel and go through while working in this high-risk career. There is much work Medical Schools need to do. They are just kids! (18 year old in the UK; young adults in USA, as examples) deciding to commit to a career so profound. This talk by Dr King is crucial for both physicians and the public to understand. Sending my love to you all.

    Dr. King, thank you for this and for sharing your story. As someone who has recently lost a very close friend to suicide and who is a current medical student, your words truly hit home and have put words to the thoughts and feelings that I have felt since the day I first started applying to medical school. Since beginning medical school, I have felt inadequate and not up to par with my peers. I have struggled with thoughts that I am not smart enough to be here or smart enough to eventually match into my current desired specialty for residency. Thankfully I have had a great support system that I can rely on when things get hard but there are many people that aren’t that lucky. Dr. King spoke very strongly on the importance of empathy, and I wholeheartedly agree that empathy is a crucial skill we all should strive to develop, regardless of if we are going to work in the medical field. I feel that this ties well into the medical ethics principle of beneficence, which is to promote the wellbeing of others. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another individual. It is easy for us to get tied up in our own lives and problems that we forget that everyone else has problems that they are dealing with as well. It takes a desire and a dedication to put yourself into someone else’s shoes but the empowering feeling that comes from truly understanding someone for who they are and what they are going through becomes a feeling of compassion and desire to promote the well-being of others. If we take the time to really talk to someone and get to know them, just as Dr. King did with his standardized patient, we can develop empathy and help to be a light to those that are struggling. As we are open and willing to be vulnerable about our struggles, our shortcomings, and share our story as Dr. King recommends, we just might be able to strike a chord with someone who may be dealing with the same struggles and fears that we have already overcome. They will know that they are not alone and that there is at least someone who understand what they are going through. These are the same feelings that I felt as I listened to this message. Medical school is hard, but no one really talks openly about how much they are struggling. The field of medicine is very competitive, and no one wants to show any weakness in front of their peers. I feel that if we all were candid with our peers as Dr. King was with us, the mental health crisis seen among medical students as well as in current physicians would decrease. It is important to connect with others and if we can erase the stigma and be an advocate for our struggling colleagues and friends, the world would be a better place.

    I feel like I really resonate with Dominic King. His message about the importance of empathy in leadership is something that I feel like we need to hear more of today. Medical school has been difficult for me. I have never been the top of my class, and it feels like I’ve stumbled in medical school much more than my classmates. My conscious brain knows that’s not true, and that we’re all going through hard things, but it’s so easy to lose sight of that reality when you’re struggling on your own.
    The emphasis on the idea that empathy is a skill that can be developed and improved upon is something I find interesting. I think this is an important reminder, especially in today's world where empathy seems to be in short supply. It's easy to become discouraged and believe that empathy is an innate quality that you either have or don't have, but King's talk reminded me that it's something that we can all work on and improve.
    Working on that empathy is going to help each of us become better human beings, because we will be able to connect and understand those around us more easily. That’s obviously a very important skill to have as a medical student, striving to help as many people as I can.

    It's interesting. I like his message and find value in it; but I don't see many physicians analyzing the structure of medical school and how that may contribute to such problems. Of course empathy and medical school is hard. But how come we never talk about restructuring a flawed system, that could decrease the rate of physician suicide, and increases retainment and comprehension? Sometimes it's not always about individual experience, but the variables that all play a significant roles in those experiences. Medical error is also a top killer in our medical industry. We seem to ignore this through much of USA.

    I want to first thank Dr. King for sharing his story; it is not easy to disclose one’s struggles, especially to thousands of people. I’m so glad there are people out there spreading this information because mental health is something we should be talking about more readily and not something to shy away from. As medical students, we are “the future of medicine,” and we have expectations placed on us the moment we consider going to medical school. The expectation set on medical students is to know everything, to get the highest scores, to do no wrong, and to be perfect. Regarding what Dr. King explained about disconnecting ourselves in order to deal with the stress of medicine, I agree it is not far off from the truth. Healthcare professionals have an ethical duty to their patients to provide objective, non-bias information so they can make their autonomous decisions; even if we have an opinion, we must hold our tongues at times and disconnect to avoid influencing decision-making. What a physician think is best may not be the best for the patient. However, discussing these obstacles that will test your ethical stance with future medical students is essential so that they may better prepare themselves.

    I can relate thoroughly and wholeheartedly to what Dr. King describes throughout his monologue on physician suicide. Coming to the end of my second year of medical school currently, the journey has been an exhaustive one, and has tried my patience, dedication and positivity. It is an interesting thought to consider this from an ethical perspective. I think about how these difficult years of education and stress will lead to a future of providing quality care to others in need. Empathy is part of this quality care, as is the education to make important and difficult decisions. Patients need to feel and actually be heard, and their concerns need to be validated. Disregarding something that may be considered routine or trivial is a maleficent disservice to that patient. Regardless of whether I have gone through a similar situation with them or not, I can be a shoulder to lean on and a set of ears to actually listen, which is something that is often lost in medicine due to hospital schedules and quotas.
    It is important to recognize emotions that us student doctors feel going through the motions with standardized patients. I had a similar experience as Dr. King with delivering bad news to an actor. After a very long and arduous week of studying, I had felt defeated and the imposter syndrome ran rampant throughout my thoughts. However, as soon as I sat down with the patient, I was able to talk to them as a human being, and not as a differential list of symptoms and outcomes. That moment was so refreshing to me and reminded me of why I chose to enter this demanding profession. It has demanded so much of my mental, emotional, physical, spiritual fortitude to keep going especially after difficult grade outcomes. But as I have mentioned earlier, it is important to recognize these emotions instead of hiding from them. Of course, dissociating from an emotional case is crucial at times to provide quality care to a patient. But there is also a time and place to be vulnerable and tackle these thoughts head-on. Ignoring them is like pouring from an empty cup: it just won’t work. With this in mind, I agree with Dr. King’s point that opening up to patients, as well as peers and family, is important regardless of whether one is in medical school or going through mundane daily tasks. Ignoring warning signs of stressful situations as seen in physician burnout is a form of self-maleficence which will translate to providing poor care to the patient.

  • @medschoolstudent
    @medschoolstudent Год назад

    I resonate with Dr. King in many ways. Obviously this topic is a tough one, but that is nothing new to medical students and professionals as they encounter tough topics on a daily basis. Typically the things that no one else wants to to take on. I fully understand what Dr. King is describing as he discussed some of the feelings that medical students and physicians alike have to deal with as he described disconnecting and creating space from the many things that we love. I cannot tell you how many times through even just the first two years of medical school that I have had to step away from the things, people, and activities that I love to do. This is quite honestly damaging to the soul in many ways, but it all happens in such small chunks that you don't realize it until you have dug a massive pit and constructed a small mountain that now stands between you and you're previous life before medicine. Honestly, this topic is no joke, and it always make me shudder when I hear about it, mostly because it is far too real and because it is only ever discussed. I have yet in the two years I have completed in medical school found any major attempts from the institution that I am at to attempt to make any changes to make things better on the students in the realm of making things more do-able as students. All in all, i appreciate the push to make these issues better known as it might help create change. Just as mental health in the public will only become a major focus after it becomes a major topic of interest to the whole public such as is the case with cardiac disease or diabetes, so is the issue of the failing medical training programs to work to reduce burnout and depression nationwide.

    300-400 physicians a year die to suicide. That is an entire graduating class of physicians every year. Dr. King talks about physicians risk of suicide due to the fact that throughout our entire career we have to disconnect from the things we love, the people we love, the hobbies we love. From very early on in the profession we are encouraged to make medicine our entire identity. This is such a dangerous way to live your life because a bad test score isn’t just a test score it is a hit on your identity and your value as a human being. We are so much more than just a medical student, or a physician, to be happy we need to be well situation in a community, and family, and loving relationships. There are so many unnecessary stresses in medical education that contribute to burn out. The cost of medical education, tyrannical medical education systems that don’t have accountability to their students or to the future patients those students will be treating. Too often things are put on our plate not for the sake of making us smarter, or better equipped future physicians but to check some arbitrary box on an accreditation checklist. I would argue the medical education system has an ethical duty to change and to reduce unnecessary stress and disconnection on medical students. Sometimes it seems that the medical education system does things out of the sake of tradition, not out of an actual desire to produce competent and wonderful physicians in the most efficient way possible.

    Iam asking to people who blames Doctors and who criticize doctors who failed at any point, Doctors only taking risk beyond their life and try to save the patient by doing wtever the possibilities, after many failures, we got a good treatment procedures now, go and search about our medication evolution history, see all r sitting safely at home, even this corona time, doctors are touching and treating them, without considering about failures, prognosis, even about their family life, I think only God can gve u a treatment, we won't do any mistakes, doctors are human only, then patient never criticize doctors who failed at some times, all r safe at home, but doctors do or die with patients, how cld u all blaming such kinds of humans, after many failures a vaccine is releasing, even anythg can happen fir anyone at any point, after mistakes, we just notice and search wts happening when injected only on this person, it may vary from individual to individual

      As much as you feel you may be, you are not alone. My best friend recently committed suicide at the end of medical school and I know this is something his family and friends will carry our whole lives. Don’t be afraid to reach out to loved ones and seek professional help, and know the 1-800-Suicide hotline. Everyone deals with mental health issues even Doctors. Going to Therapy or Psychiatrist is akin to seeing a Physical Therapist if you sprained your ankle.
      I recommend a RUclips video “Medical student turns depression into a movement”. You got this!!! I hope all the best for you!!!

    Physician suicide is something the public rarely considers because physicians are trained how to recognize the symptoms of depression, right? Several studies have shown suicide to be one of the leading causes of death among both female and male physicians. Burnout, depression, job stress and the stigma associated with seeking help are all contributing factors to the unacceptably high rate of suicide among physicians. I believe the key to combating physician suicide begins first with recognition of the issue. We must then address many of the aforementioned factors contributing to suicide.
    Burnout is one of the most significant factors at play when discussing physician suicide. Long hours, high stress and little control over their workload lead many physicians to feel completely overwhelmed and resentful of their jobs. And this is the experience of physicians AFTER they’ve suffered the extreme stress of an undergraduate degree and medical school, which from personal experience I can say seems designed to rob you of your sanity.
    Depression is a highly prevalent issue facing our society and physicians are not exempt from its crippling effects. There is also a stigma associated with seeking mental health counseling among physicians, as they are supposed to be stronger, more capable of dealing with their emotions than their patients. Compounding this often-self-imposed stigma are the fears of losing licensure or damaging their reputation should they seek help or, God forbid, time off to recompose themselves.
    Recognition is the first step in addressing this pressing issue, but much must be done to improve the working conditions and mental health of our physicians. Providing adequate resources, decreasing the administrative burdens, and implementing more team-based approaches to care could alleviate much of the pressure physicians are under and potentially decrease the rate of burnout. Providing mental health support and well-being programs could allow physicians to address their mental health issues before they become problematic to the point of considering suicide. In addition to spreading awareness, such programs could significantly reduce the stigma associated with “depressed physicians”, and instead humanize the struggles they experience daily.

    I was always curious as to how med students deal/ memorize all that medical knowledge that they have to memorize and then later tested on. It's pure suicidal info that you have to absorb and remember. Elon Musk needs to engineer an AI doctor who remembers everything in medical knowledge and makes no mistakes on the surgical table, problem solve!

    • @JohnBaker-fh5iu
      @JohnBaker-fh5iu Год назад

      Beetafly2, the decision to attend medical school is undoubtedly one that medical students take seriously. As a medical student, I can certainly agree that the information we have to know to treat the lives of people is insane, however, there's a purpose. The purpose is to understand the current situation and how to address it. thousands are thousands of diseases and we have to know to take care of the patient and help improve their quality of life. The part where I disagree with you is that AI should not be involved in surgery or have an important role in medicine. I believe that we provide more than just knowledge. We provide a sense of support, empathy, and being human. Imagine being a patient and waiting for a diagnosis after months of coughing and losing weight. You receive a text message from an AI telling you you have cancer. Now imagine that with a compassionate doctor willing to go above and beyond in explaining to you what is happening and offering help with the next steps to take. Now, if you are arguing about surgery, do you think AI will know what to do in every situation that occurs in the body? I think having the component of a human brain allows us to have a wide network of experience and skills to fix a problem on a surgical table. What happens if the computer has a glitch, is hacked by a third party, or even does create a mistake? Who is the person that is going to fix it? It isn't the salesman that sold the device. It's the doctor that went through 14 years of education to train enough to handle that situation. I can compromise with you and agree that AI could somehow fit in the medical field, but not take over the jobs that people have worked years for.

    Where can I find data on the breakdown of physician suicide and their specialty? Through honest gleaning while cognitively biased it is my feeling that General Practitioner suicide is the highest. This worries me because I’m led to believe that in general, GP’s make the least money and have the least clout amongst their peers. That is, GP’s are the proletariats within Western medicine and they themselves will never be enough to change the cultural waters they swim in. Awareness of the specialties of those who have taken their own life seems like necessary information for any intervention to be successful. Love & Wishes to All.

    this did not make sense
    he said all the stress and commitment was worth all the struggles of medical school because of a 15 minute interview with an actress
    medical school does not and can not teach humility and empathy
    so none of the overly demanding requirements of med school will make you more human
    in fact humanity is not a requirement to becomeva doctor the board is only looking for skill out the aorta so to speak
    to avoid malpractice suits and that sort of thing
    at the endvof the day its a buisness looking to stay in buisness
    this is real simple at the end of the dsy if you had the choice which you dont pretend like you do
    the choice between a sensitive doctor and a great professional doctor that really knows hisher way around the operating table but has poor empathy skills
    which of these two doctors do you want at your bed side
    and you better choose the second doctor becas if you dont well then ....
    now if empathy were really a priority at hospitals or in the private practice room od a doctor then fees would not be sooo damn high with many americans suffering from lack of quality care simply bcas they dont have unlimited financial resourses

      AS W - I like your post. I completely agree from the patients perspective. If doctor's were held more accountable for their actions, maybe through legal changes, the medical schools would treat the students better. But since human rights is relative, then the iatrogenic effects will continue. Its happened to me as well. And your words sound very similar to mine. I have been gaslighted as well.
