īig Pharma, Big Medicine, and the Industrial Medical Complex is a monolith born from our patriarchal, white privilege culture and embedded way more in politics than it is in science, medicine or healing. I just recently found out about this new book, Uncaring: How The Culture of Medicine Kills Doctors & Patients By Robert Pearl, MD. I am not the only one speaking out about this. If the people who literally deliver the medicine were happy, healthy, whole, nourished and empowered themselves - miracles could be produced everyday, versus tragedy. I have always said if we simply freed up practitioners to practice their best medicine, true to their hearts, we would solve many of the problems of today's healthcare even without incorporating natural and lifestyle medicine! (Though we could solve nearly all of them if we did.) It does not allow doctors to do their best medicine from their hearts, speak their truth, or get help when they need support to get through difficulty at work or at home. Our healthcare industry as an entire system is sick and broken. It is acutely obvious many doctors are not happy, fulfilled, or satisfied with their lives, no matter the paycheck.Īll the things you are frustrated with the medical industry as a patient are often the same or nearly the same things that leave doctors heartbroken, empty and numb.
Physician suicide and physician burn out is a subject that has been in my heart the entire time I have been a doctor. We don’t have an episode this week (keep an eye out next week!) but our last episode with Rachel Reinhart Taylor is one worth listening to.
