Once it's dialed in I fully expect this technology to be able to decrease your total time in the chart by as much as 50% and more.

This is a true disruptive innovation, allowing you to
Get Home Sooner WITHOUT Working Harder

What am I talking about ?

It's usually referred to as a DIGITAL SCRIBE.
It is so much more than that.

A scribe just transcribes your conversation. This new technology leverages the Chat GPT engine's ability to participate in a human conversation by training it on a diet of hundreds of thousands of notes written by physicians in your specialty ...

... so it can listen to your conversation with the patient and then actually WRITE YOUR NOTE FOR YOU.

And it's a shockingly good, bring-tears-to-your-eyes note.

The technology can write notes for in person and virtual visits, in multiple different languages.

And it's ready for you to give it a test drive right now.

Physician Leadership:
A Simple Communication Tool to Avoid the Disruptive Doctor Label (video training)

If you invite physicians into your management or leadership meetings, we will diagnose the problems in the system of care with the same speed and skill we diagnose disease in our patients.

Sooner or later we will also run into any number of situations that qualify as hypocrisy: where the organization says one thing and does something completely different.

Nothing in this world upsets a physician more than hypocrisy. 

We see it right away, like a flashing red light. It drives us to shout, thump tables, foam at the lips and more. This undisciplined behavior results in many doctors being labeled a "disruptive physician" and their completely legitimate concerns downplayed or ignored by the other senior leaders at the table. This outright dismissal of legitimate concerns can be a major cause of physician burnout for some doctors.

Here is a Simple Communication Tool to Completely Avoid Being Labeled Disruptive and get your concerns addressed.

Stop Physician Suicide Part 3:

Coaching a Suicidal Physician Client [CME]

[Part 1 - The first-person experience of Suicidal Ideation - is here]
[Part 2 - Reaching out to a suicidal physician colleague - is here ]

Unfortunately, we cannot stop all physician suicides for two simple reasons.

• Doctors are too good at hiding their struggle and distress. Our "never show weakness" programming is so very strong.
  
  
• We know the anatomy and physiology, so doctors are very good at themselves.
  
  

What we can do is reach out to any of our colleagues who appear to be struggling.  

In this podcast/post, you will learn:

~ How to recognize the signs and symptoms of burnout and suicidal ideation

~ A proven method to reach out to that friend/colleague, simply and effectively 

The end result is lives will be saved that would be lost without your caring and outreach.

How many times have you looked forward to a day off work - a nirvana of rest, relaxation, recuperation, leisure, pleasure and la dolce vita?

And instead you ended up just powering through the list of busy work around the house you've been saving up for weeks ...

Catch up on the laundry, clean the house, balance the checkbook, do your taxes, hit the grocery store, mow your lawn, get a haircut ... and fall into a heap at the end of the day feeling no less rested than when you left work yesterday.

That's a crappy day off

Actually it is not a day off at all. It is just another day on a different punch list. It's another day on a different hamster wheel.  And it does not have to be that way.

Here are four steps to transform your days off from catch-up marathons or a haze of simple recuperation -  to true life balance.

Today and every day in the USA, over 50% of American Physicians are suffering from at least one symptom of burnout.

What word would you use to describe this situation to someone who doesn't work in healthcare?

Sad <> Tragic <> Criminal <> Crazy <> Unfortunate??

How about this ... ABSURD.

How can you take an entire generation of the best and brightest and grind half of them down to the point where their performance is impaired and their lives at risk - every single day - and carry on as if this is normal.

There's only one conclusion we can make ...

There must be something toxic - in some cases, deadly - about the current practice of medicine for physicians. 

It's as if each of us is a coal miner and your employer refuses to give you a respirator, then blames you for your black lung disease - or a construction worker without a hard hat - or a policeman without a bulletproof vest.

This blog post let me teach you a two-part strategy to TAKE YOUR PRACTICE BACK.

A proven path back to a practice you enjoy, one that will keep you happy and smiling about your decision to become a physician in the first place.

As an employee physician, your relationship with your job begins when you sign your contract.

Your contract is a legal arrangement known in Latin as a quid pro quo. It's an agreement that each party is going to do something for the other.

I have a confession to make.

14 years ago I launched my physician coaching website here at TheHappyMD.com. Since that time I've devoted every hour of my professional life to helping my fellow Lightworkers avoid my fate.

FULL DISCLOSURE:
I crashed and burned out of my family practice at the age of 40 and wandered in the wilderness for a decade before becoming certified as a coach and finding this path back to being a helper and healer to my physician brothers and sisters. 40,000 doctors later, its time to let you know a key to our success.

In all of my work as a physician coach, we really don't focus much at all on physician burnout.

We spend as little time as possible on burnout before we put it to its highest and best use.

Most people believe that your medical education sets you up to be a successful practicing physician.

Unfortunately that is not true.

Today's 63% physician burnout rate should give us some clue, that our traditional medical education does not guarantee a successful practicing physician.

Investing your 20's to complete the slog through medical school, residency and fellowship does produce two consistent outcomes.

1) You learn the bare minimum to practice in your specialty. I say bare minimum because no one graduates from the education process completely capable of practicing independently - especially with the work hour restrictions of today's residency programs. The breadth of the knowledge base in any specialty is so large now and yet the number of available teaching hours within residency programs has been cut by 1/3 compared to residencies before work hour restrictions were put in place.

2) You are also taught - and subconsciously conditioned - to be a good resident.

The complete medical education process takes from 7 to 16 years. At the end of that marathon, everyone who survives is programmed to be a great resident.

• Fortunately for the industrial practice of medicine, great residents make compliant employees.
  
  
• Unfortunately for the graduating physician, the same conditioning sets us up for burnout in the first place - especially since 73% of physicians become employees these days.

Residency is not about success in your future practice.
