Listen "#008 President Trump, Racism In Medicine, & Choosing Medicine"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we get into several heavy topics: President Trump being diagnosed with COVID-19, racism in medicine, and the need for physicians to help us transition from healthcare back to medicine.
We need to understand that the pandemic we live in today is a matter of choice. Our choice to acknowledge, to do our part, and to ensure the safety of ourselves, our family, the people in our community, and the patients that they may become in life. This is serious. It is a matter of life and death.
We need to address that racism does exist in medicine. From patients being disrespectful to physicians, or from administrative staff and colleagues. It is real. It does exist. We need to discuss it openly. We need to ensure that our leaders are prepared to address it in real-time, to say it is unacceptable, and to have the tools and support system for our colleagues to continue to allow them to practice their art in a safe environment.
Our last topic is that there is a difference between medicine and healthcare. It is real. It is something we all experience. We need to choose which we want, and make that choice at the N of 1.
