Join me on one of the most important days of my life, my TED Talk at UGA. Documentary produced, filmed, and edited by the talented @NDMD
As a doctor, I help people rebuild their lives and improve their health and well-being. I love being a doctor. But I cannot say that I love medical training. I have watched countless enthusiastic future doctors, future healers, enter medical training only to be broken down physically, mentally, emotionally.
Every few weeks, I see a post discussing how ANOTHER resident doctor ended their life by suicide due to a culture that worked them to the bone and silenced them when they tried to seek help.
Many future doctors believe that entering medicine will make them healers, but the great irony is that medical training generates far more mental health sufferers than it does healers.
But what if we could change our medical education system, REVAMP it, MODERNIZE it, HUMANIZE it? We would not only improve the health of doctors, but most importantly dramatically improve patient care.
