What My Patients Taught Me About Death and DyingAll too often, physicians assume the teacher-student (physician-patient) teaching relationship is a one-way construct. Yet if we allow ourselves to be receptive to potential lessons, we can become the student, almost always to our advantage. Over the years, I have come to understand these “teaching moments” were not fully appreciated at the time.

“Wouldn’t you want to know what medications your child is on?” a mother implored. It was my first week working in an addiction medicine clinic for justice-involved youth and I had recently started a young person on an antidepressant. The young person, over the age of 14, could consent confidentially for mental health services, and I was not permitted to discuss his mental health diagnosis or medications with his mother.

We all know life is in transition, and we all go through different changes during our careers, from personal to professional growth. We all strive for a reasonable work-life balance. Early in my career, after completing my residency training, I was discouraged by many of my mentors from pursuing a hospitalist career. The common agreement at the time was that hospital medicine was the recipe for burnout, and a fellowship offered me a path to a more sustainable career in medicine.

As a physician, have you ever noticed how the environment of a hospital or clinic rubs off on you? Think of senior doctors or mentors during your residency or early days of practice. Their approaches, diagnostic acumen, and patient interaction styles had a way of shaping your own. Think how others in your lifetime have influenced you. Their beliefs, strengths, and energy shape the way you think and act.

This is part of the Medical Humanities Series on Op-Med, which showcases creative work by our members. An Interview with the ArtistThe culture of medicine is always changing, and COVID-19 sped up a number of changes, including the explosion of telemedicine and the normalization of wearing scrubs to work (not just on-call or during procedure days). Some practices and institutions are now clawing back those practices. But is the return to the status quo necessarily a good thing?

Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. The idea that robots would someday take over the human race has been a theme in Sci-fi movies for ages. Flicks such as "Terminator," "Robocop," or even "The Matrix" have been hinting at the reality of artificial intelligence (AI), and now it’s not such a far-fetched concept.

Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. It was at the very beginning of the fourth year of medical school that we had our first child. So, we decided to get life insurance. I didn’t know who to turn to at first, but then I was directed to an insurance agent at a well-known mutual fund company who happened to be my friend’s brother. As I sat down, he asked if I was healthy.

Driving myself to a practice subspecialty exam, I wondered whether I had finally grown icy to the perennial medical training stick-more-than-carrot of board exams. I wondered why a subspecialty practice exam cost $160 and required proctoring at an outside site, even as my general boards practice exams were done without a fee, during resident school, and proctored by one of my attendings.

Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. As we find ourselves on the brink of an economic downturn, it’s normal to be experiencing a little anxiety. The headlines are dominated with news of job losses, syndication deals not meeting projections, and businesses closing up shop, all painting a pretty grim picture of the financial landscape. The fear many have in times of economic uncertainty often stems from not knowing the future.
