Happiness

7 Mar
2008

Sometimes bloggers focus on the negative.  Sometimes medical bloggers spend too much time railing about insurance or malpractice or hospital administrators.  If anything impedes, or seems to impede our processes we get mad.  We blog angrily and our blogger friends link to us with an “attaboy.”

Today I want to focus on the positive.  I have had a great week.  I love being an internist and I love teaching medicine.

I figured out patient problems this week.  Each patient presents with unique problems that we must sort through.  I love the detective process which medicine requires.

I explained a variety of things to patients – diagnoses, planned tests, planned treatments.  I worked hard to make complicated concepts understandable.  I tried to gauge the patients’ understanding of the plan.

I taught every day this week.  My teaching ranged from case presentations to demonstrating physical findings at the bedside.  Each teaching session energized me.  I hope my learners left these sessions a bit more knowledgeable.

As I reflect on this week, I have the pride of accomplishment.  I cannot imagine having any other profession.  When I look in the mirror, I reflect that my goals each day are to help patients and help my learners.  I hope that I succeed.

So I have tried to transmit my happiness.  This week was not unusual.  I love my job.

I had a shitty week. So I am trying to transmit my misery. This week was usual. I hate my job.

DB: Your post made me smile, congrats on being in a job you love.

Comment #1 made me laugh. Good satire is rare.

I also do a good deal of teaching in my job. I became the Clinical Director a couple of years ago for a small in-home care company. I quickly began missing working with patients in the clinical setting. Interacting with patients made me feel that I was literally making a difference in people’s lives on a daily basis.

I have recently been getting more involved with teaching pediatric ventilation and medication management to nursing staff, medication aides and patients; the satisfaction I’d lost track of has returned.

Thanks for the positive note, it can be just as infectious as a negative one:)
