Workforce Issues
Silver linings emerge for hospitalists For Elisabeth Souther, MD, chief of hospital medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, a rural, academic hospital with almost 400 beds in Lebanon, N.H., the last two years have been challenging beyond belief. “In the spring of 2020, we were dealing with a disease we knew virtually nothing about, we didn’t know if personal protective equipment (PPE) would protect us, we had no idea if we had enough PPE, we were concerned that members of our own ranks would die from COVID-19, and we didn’t know how long the pandemic would last,” she said. “We did what we do best as docto...

But despite all the turmoil, some hospitalists say they love their jobs and still enjoy practicing acute medicine in the hospitals where they work. How do they go to work every day with smiles on their faces? How are they able to enter the hospital’s sliding glass front doors filled with hope, anticipation, and curiosity? We asked several hospitalists to share their stories and thei...

#HowWeHospitalist: A glimpse into six lives
They’ve been called heroes and godsends and walked out of work to applause from passersby. That respect and admiration was a balm to overworked hospitalists. Now many of the nation’s estimated 50,000 hospitalists would gladly pass on the attention and adoration for a return to normalcy. Normalcy. Remember that? Twelve-hour days? On-off shifts? Using the bathroom without a mask? Two years into the pandemic, the nation’s hospitalists are tired. Many are burned out. Some have left the profession altogether. Others are no longer alive. This is not another story on the emotional wreckage the pandemic has left in hospitali...

The Race to Make a Vaccine for Breast Cancer
When Karen Lynch was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 44, it was a shock, but not a complete surprise. “My family history is just riddled with cancer; my father had prostate cancer and died from stomach and esophageal cancer, and his five sisters passed from breast cancer,” she says. “My mother died from pancreatic cancer.” It was 1996, and genetic testing was not as routine as it is now, so it wasn’t until nine years after her diagnosis and treatment with lumpectomy and radiation that Lynch learned she carried the BRCA1 mutation, which increases her risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer...

Hospitalists Talk about Rebuilding Trust in Health Care
We present three elements that bolster trust: compassion, competence, and credibility. These exist on both interpersonal and organizational levels. Trust in health care has gradually eroded in the U.S. over the last four decades. While 80% of Americans showed confidence in the medical system in 1975, only 37% expressed confidence in 2015, a dramatic fall of more than 50%.2 And, the U.S. ranked 24 out of 29 in patients agreeing with the statement “all things considered, doctors in the U.S. can be trusted.”3 These pre-pandemic reports on public trust were an augury of signs to come.  Dr. Mathews The cause for this ste...

Long Waits, Short Appointments, Huge Bills: U.S. Health Care Is Causing Patient Burnout
You haven’t been feeling well lately. You’re more tired than usual, a bit sluggish. You wonder if there’s something wrong with your diet. Or maybe you’re anemic? You call your primary-­care doctor’s office to schedule an appointment. They inform you the next available appointment is in three weeks. So, you wait. And then you wait some more. And then, when you arrive on the day of your appointment, you wait even more. You fill out the mountain of required paperwork, but the doctor still isn’t ready to see you. You flip through a magazine for a while, then scroll through your phone unt...
