Choice: The Hidden Curriculum in Palliative Care
By Paul CarrThank you to Dr. Naheed Dosani and the excellent team at William Osler Health Centre for inspiring this post.What three words describe the essence of palliative care for you? When I asked my friends, family, and colleagues, the most common answers are: pain management, personal and spiritual support, and end of life planning. Those are all key components. But what quickly became apparent to me during my palliative care elective is that excellent palliative care providers embrace the role of enabling patients and families to make well-informed choices.I have taken a long and untraditional route to arrive in the ...

Tips for Battling Burnout
It’s no secret that school-based SLPs can experience serious burnout. Growing caseloads, treating students with complex needs, a seemingly unending amount of paperwork, plus a possible lack of appreciation or understanding of our role are just some factors contributing to this issue. We may not be able to control all of these contributors to feeling overwhelmed, but we can do some things to improve our professional situation. Other insights for reducing effects of burnout: When a speech-language pathologist saw signs of burnout among her faculty-clinician colleagues, she set out to make over her division. Flailing at ...

Bob Wachter ’ s 2017 Penn Med Commencement Address “ Go to Radiology ”
By ROBERT WACHTER, MD Dean Jameson, Trustees, Faculty, Family and Friends, and most of all, Graduates of the Class of 2017: Standing before you on this wonderful day, seeing all the proud parents and significant others, I can’t help but think about my father. My dad didn’t go to college; he joined the Air Force right after high school, then entered the family business, which manufactured women’s clothing. He did reasonably well, and my folks ended up moving to a New York City suburb, where I grew up. There were a lot of professionals in the neighborhood, but my dad admired the doctors the most. He was even a little e...

How to Live Life to the Fullest
In 2007 travel writer Leigh Ann Henion was on a mountaintop in Mexico watching a million monarchs soar above her. The butterflies had left their homes in Canada and the U.S. to wait out the winter — flying up to 3,000 miles to get there. “Their wings against the air sounded like a light rainstorm falling on a verdant forest,” Henion writes in her beautiful book Phenomenal: A Hesitant Adventurer’s Search for Wonder in the Natural World. “All of those paper-thin wings had traveled as many or more miles than we had, but I was still surprised to see that some of them were a bit worse for wear. They looked like ...

Fear as a Teacher
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Taking a deep breath as I am typing these words about a topic that is inherent in the human condition. I consider myself a pretty brave person, having faced deaths of family members and friends, injury, an ectopic pregnancy, financial challenge, a heart attack, shingles, kidney stones, job layoff, illness, relationships ending, and loss of my home in a hurricane. These are all common life events; some expected, most arriving o...

Health Reform Must End the Harms of Prior Authorizations
By CRAIG BLINDERMAN, MD As the White House continues to push for a revised Republican proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), one thing is for certain, many of the sickest Americans will continue to suffer as they are denied medications and other treatments under current health insurance strategies to save costs. Both the ACA, and the recently proposed MacArthur Amendment, do not address a well-established practice of health insurers’ use of restrictive prior authorization requirements to deny or delay coverage of medications and treatments to seriously ill patients. In my own practice caring for cancer patien...

Nature vs Nurture
  By, SAURABH JHA MD My wife chooses sides in the nature-versus-nurture war expeditiously. When our children are polite, she credits her nurture. When they’re rowdy, she blames my genes. But the nature-nurture war won’t be resolved anytime soon. The gene played a significant role in the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. Karna, abandoned by his mother, Kunti, and raised by a charioteer, was taught warfare by Parashurama, a gifted teacher with a fiery temperament, who despised warriors and only taught Brahmins. One day, Parashurama was asleep with his head on Karna’s lap. Karna was bitten by a scorpion but d...

How to Survive Suicidal Thoughts
The standard advice you’ll hear if you express suicidal thoughts is to call a suicide hotline or check yourself into the hospital. Trained volunteers, such as those at The Samaritans, provide an invaluable service to severely depressed people who call or email them in desperation. But for some of us, suicidal thoughts can be present for many months or years, and we can’t hang out on a suicide hotline or live in the hospital psych ward indefinitely. We have to learn how to become our own trained professional who helps us tease apart our thoughts until we arrive at the truth that will keep us safe from harming ours...

Longest ever personality study finds no correlation between measures taken at age 14 and age 77
By Christian Jarrett Imagine you’ve reached the fine age of 77 and you hear news of a school reunion. You’re going to have the chance to meet up with several of your former classmates who you haven’t seen since you were fourteen-years-old. They’ll look a lot different, of course, but what about their personality? Will they be broadly be the same as they were back then? Past research that’s looked at trait changes from adolescence to mid-life has shown there tends to be a moderate amount of stability, so too research that’s looked at changes from mid-life into old age.

An American Story
Sitting in the waiting room of the Oval Office surrounded by his family, Sam found it both fortuitous and ironic that he had changed his name years ago. Amongst a flurry of millions of pressing yet inconsequential decisions, Americanizing his Iranian name, Saeed, would later save him some grief during 9/11. He looked up at the line of government workers and their families wending it's way through the hallways and ending abruptly at the President's office. One of the security guards had taken pity on Sam. His eighty year old body hobbled by a bad knee, broken years ago in a tunnel explosion during his ye...
