A doctor ’ s struggle for patient care
“I maybe have a tiny shred of compassion.” A doctor I know wrote this in reference to a person they’d never met, a person who had been verbally abusive to many health care professionals. A person who was a prospective patient. A tiny shred of compassion. Maybe. I had met the patient in question, was Read more… A doctor’s struggle for patient care originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

The impact of war trauma, the challenge of objectivity, and the power of therapy and storytelling in healing
Trauma in the form of war is one of the worst forms of trauma to endure. How do people remain objective about events and the involved nations when they have been directly or indirectly affected by war? For example, how are Holocaust survivors and their families able to unemotionally relate to present-day German citizens? How Read more… The impact of war trauma, the challenge of objectivity, and the power of therapy and storytelling in healing originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Unworthiness nearly killed me
In 2016, I sat on a hospital bed in Utah, having flown from North Carolina for specialized medical treatment as my life was slowly slipping away from starvation. During this time, I was in the Air Force and an oral and maxillofacial surgery resident completing the medical school portion of my training, which I loved.

Why doctors should embrace uncertainty for better patient outcomes
Recently, I met a coaching client for her second session. As we greeted each other, it was immediately apparent that her energy and mood had shifted from the first session. She seemed lighter, her shoulders were higher, and her posture was straighter. There were smiles instead of tears. In the initial session, we discussed pressures Read more… Why doctors should embrace uncertainty for better patient outcomes originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Embracing vulnerability: a doctor ’ s journey of healing and connection
One doctor I’ve worked with had gotten caught up in the idea of being a doctor. She realized, during her training with us, that she had stopped looking her patients in the eye. In fact, she had stopped making eye contact with her patients when she was in residency. She had to tell these two Read more… Embracing vulnerability: a doctor’s journey of healing and connection originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Breaking free from denial: Embracing the truth
I understand it well. You persuade yourself that everything is fine. And then you persuade others that your marriage is perfect. You’re facing a terminal illness, but you’re the exception because it surely can’t happen to you. You’re in poor health with unexplained aches and pains, but you avoid visiting your doctors, instead praying to Read more… Breaking free from denial: Embracing the truth originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Youth are changing perceptions of death: Here ’ s what they want you to know
There is a diary entry of mine (Sparks) from when I learned that the pandemic would last longer than we initially thought. 17 years old at the time, I described my feelings of fear at the thought that I may die. “I don’t know if there’s even a point to planning for the future anymore.” Read more… Youth are changing perceptions of death: Here’s what they want you to know originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

How psychiatry fails trauma survivors
Psychiatry has a duty to be trauma-informed, given that 50 to 60 percent of the general population, and around 90 percent of people with severe mental illness, have a lifetime history of at least one traumatic event. Yet the mental health system often falls short. Consider involuntary hospitalization in a psychiatric unit. Losing one’s freedom Read more… How psychiatry fails trauma survivors originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Navigating self-judgment with compassion
Earlier this week, I made a stupid mistake, and that mistake cost us our dental and vision insurance for the year 2024. You see, I had my COBRA from my old job that I had planned to keep, as the kids still had braces, and switching midway apparently resulted in non-coverage. So, I spent a Read more… Navigating self-judgment with compassion originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)
