#17 Emotional Adulthood in Surgery

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/10/28

Becoming an emotional adult as a surgeon is essential, but it's not easy. You are working in a high-stress, high-stakes industry, and it's so much easier to act out and throw tantrums like a toddler. Perhaps that's been modeled for you in training. Perhaps you think you have to throw a fit to take good care of your patients. Well, you don't. You'll learn why a lot of adults—including surgeons—live their lives as emotional children, what it means to be an emotional adult, and how to take owner...

#16 Reputation and Malpractice Insurance: Cultivating...

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/10/21

The best way to insulate ourselves against patient retaliation is to cultivate "know, like, and trust". But how do we do that? In this episode, I'll tell you how I used to do it right, then, in a state of burnout, I did it very wrong (2 patients complained about me to the board of medicine during that time), and now I'm creating "know, like, and trust" with everyone, "difficult" patients included. I'll teach you a simple 5 step process that will allow you to connect with anyone and every...

#12 Emotional Wealth Part 2: Rediscovering your Home

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/09/30

You don’t have to hunker down in a basement bunker (your "surgeon room"). You actually have the freedom to explore the rest of your beautiful home. Consider your identity a multi-room house, and you’ve merely ignored the other parts/rooms of yourself for so long that you’ve forgotten they exist. Consider detaching from your surgeon identity and reconnecting with other parts of your multifaceted self.Get your Purposeful Pre-Or Checklist here: melthackercoaching.com/orchecklistI want to hear fr...

#11 Emotional Wealth Part 1: Training your Animal

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/09/23

The key to creating wealth is learning how to engage with and manage your emotions. Emotions are vibrational frequencies in your body. As a surgeon, you have been taught to ignore your body. That's BS. It's time to reconnect with your body and realize the power of your intuition. In this episode, I discuss how emotions are the key to unlocking your potential, how to engage with emotions as though you were engaging with a child or training an animal, and the boundless places you can go when yo...

#11 Duality

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/09/16

Life is not all or none. Black or white. This or that. There is overlap between two contradictory sides of ourselves. When we see the world this way, we are able to accept ourselves in whatever realm we tend toward and consciously shift ourselves to the realm that best serves our goals. From the system's perspective, we should be unemotional, selfless martyrs. The truth is: we are complex, feeling, thinking, imperfect creatures. In this episode, you'll learn about the energy-sucking disadvant...

Three Businesses

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/09/02

According to Byron Katie, there are three businesses: your business, other people's business, and the universe's business.Surgical complications are none of your business. They are the universe's business.What do I mean by this? NOT that you shouldn't take action to help your patients when they have a complication. You absolutely should. I say this to mean that you do not own a complication as something you intentionally caused or have full control over.We own our own business. That's where w...

Swan Theory

Surgeons with Purpose ·

2024/08/26

Our training has taught us to rely on white swans and fear red swans. In this episode you'll learn why approaching your patients this way creates roadblocks, can lead to misdiagnosis and mistreatment of the patient, causes you distress, and distracts you from reality. The way to reduce medical errors, build rapport with patients, and increase efficiency is to identify the black swans--the unknown unknowns--and turn them into white swans--known knowns.White swans exist both in the real world a...

2024/08/19

Martyrdom

2024/07/30

Martyrdom is a toxic, one way street to burn out. In this episode, I explore why humans feel the need to add suffering to their lives, from historical and religious examples of martyrs to martyrs in medicine (and the dangerous precedent that sets for the rest of us). The ultimate message here is: YOU MATTER. I hope you'll feel inspired to prioritize yourself and give martyrdom the middle finger.Please share your personal experiences of martyrdom culture with me!
