Avoid Burnout in Healthcare: Joseph Stern #2

Well, we're looking at a time in healthcare where burnout is at very, very high rates. And I believe that some of the reason for burnout is our, we're not kind to ourselves. https://youtu.be/He7nSOFu3ag So there's no self compassion, we don't, we don't take time to make sure that we're okay. And because we push away the grief and these other experiences, we, it ends up being a very fragile relationship that we have, that we have when we could really dig in and be more connected and get more pleasure and more value out of work. And so I, I would urge them to make some of these transitions toward you know, honest communication, really being in touch with their own emotional experiences not shying away from these connections and conversations and, and the emotional agility part that you know, you need to really to be a successful provider of healthcare, you need to be able to have that connection and also have the technical expertise. And if you can learn to balance between those two, you're really going to be very wonderful provider. ----- Watch the rest of this interview with Dr Joseph Stern here https://youtu.be/9B8Nu_9JwCg Listen to the interview on the podcast, Your Intended Message here https://yourintendedmessage.podbean.com/e/the-language-of-love-loss-and-compassion-dr-joseph-stern/ Listen to Dr Joseph Stern on your fav podcast app here, episode 87 https://yourintendedmessage.com/ ----- Joseph Stern is a partner in the country’s largest neurosurgical group practice, Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates, and practices neurosurgery at the Moses H. Cone Hospital, the flagship hospital of Cone Health in Greensboro, North Carolina. Despite being a talented neurosurgeon, Joseph D. Stern, MD (“Jody”) learned more about the devastation of terminal illness after his beloved younger sister Victoria developed leukemia than his formal medical training ever taught him. Previously, he maintained a detached relationship with his patients by focusing on science and logic, but Victoria’s treatment and subsequent death caused Jody to move toward meaningful, direct, and honest communication to provide more compassionate treatment. He poses the question: How can physicians maintain connection but also not become consumed by grief? GRIEF CONNECTS US: A Neurosurgeon’s Lessons on Love, Loss, and Compassion brings together multiple perspectives through patient stories, treasured photographs, and Victoria’s deeply personal journal entries to form a rich narrative that prioritizes humanity and empathy. Victoria was the type of patient who was driven by positivity throughout her battle with leukemia. As inspiring as her hope was, her reticence to talk about death left her family blindsided and unprepared when she passed. Then with the sudden passing of her husband just a year later, leaving their two teenage boys without parents, it sparked a realization for Jody: that death needs to be discussed more in everyday life, so that when each of us eventually meets it, the practical details don’t get in the way of mourning ----- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.
