Wisdom of the Ages: A Surgeon's Reflections on Writing, Vocation and Satisfying Endings
As I was creating Hal Winters, the character at the center of my short story, “Old Scrubs,” (Spring 2024 Intima) I imagined a rumpled, gray-haired, and unflappable older male surgeon who has seen it all. He heads to the hospital every day, goes through the motions and gets his work done without fanfare or fireworks. He hasn’t felt the spark of “why” he went into medicine for years but, as long as he remembers the “how,” he will keep plowing the same furrow.
'Emily in Paris' star Ashley Park shares update after suffering 'critical septic shock'
“Emily in Paris” star Ashley Park is grateful as she continues to recover from “critical septic shock” she suffered while vacationing with her co-star and boyfriend Paul Forman. The actress, who plays Mindy Chen in the hit Netflix series, revealed that she was brought to Dubai from the Maldives to receive treatment for her illness. On her Instagram Story Friday evening, Park shared a photo from her bed thanking several people who helped her and Forman through their traumatic health crisis.
Letter to the editor: Claim of ineptitude by AG's office in climate change trial disturbing
I am a retired trial attorney with nearly 40 years of litigation experience. I retained and interacted with many expert witnesses during the course of my career. Never have I experienced or heard of an expert publicly criticizing the attorneys who retained him or her as being “totally unprepared” for the cross-examination of the opposing party’s experts. If this claim is accurate for a trial of this magnitude, the voters of Montana need to elect a different attorney general.

The Patient’s Clothes Might Be as Important as My White Coat
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. It is the 1990s and I am running the head and neck cancer clinic. I open the door, step inside, and greet my new patient, a casually dressed woman in her early forties. “Good morning!” I say. After we cover the basics, I ask, “Tell me your story.” She relates to me that she bit her tongue several weeks ago. Her dentist sent her to see me after the sore spot persisted and was getting larger. She grimaces.
The Separation of Faith and Medicine
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Religion sometimes plays an important role in the treatment of a patient, even though as physicians, we might not want it to. I have often thought that to be neutral in my approach to a patient, I should keep the idea of religion, including my own, out of the encounter. My very spiritual Muslim parents have often suggested that I should pray for my patients, particularly the very ill.
The Secrets of Our Financial Lives May Be Hiding in Our Childhoods
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. I would characterize my current relationship with money as healthy. In general, I come at it from a place of abundance. I have a written financial plan, I spend intentionally, and so on. I even embrace the role of luck. But this current relationship only goes back about two years. Before that, I had a very unhealthy relationship with money. I had a 100% scarcity money mindset.
Saying Goodbye to My Patients Hit Me Harder Than Expected
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. “It has been a privilege to be your primary care doctor during my residency training,” I write, preparing a letter for my clinic patients as the end of residency approaches. For the past three years, the lives of my patients and I have intersected during each clinic visit. Our relationship began with a hint of skepticism on their part — they wondered, Would I be a competent replacement for their former beloved doctor?
The Trouble with Treating Pain
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. “The pain is so bad, I want to die.” When she said this to me, her eyes began to water. So she tightened her fist and closed her eyes. Her voice faltered as she fought back tears, and she continued to explain how her pain began. It started after she lifted a chair in her apartment. She felt a “sharp twinge” in her lower back and she dropped the chair. After some rest, she could take a few steps.
A Pharmacist on Why Blockchain Will Revolutionize Patient Record-Keeping
Skip to main content Voices from the Doximity Network Use App A Pharmacist on Why Blockchain Will Revolutionize Patient Record-Keeping Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. The health care industry is one of the most data-intensive industries in the world. Every day, health care practitioners generate thousands of gigabytes of data from EMRs, medical images, and other sources.
Does a Surgeon’s Age Make a Difference?
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Your close friend, Caleb, knows you work in a hospital, so he tells you a story: His healthy 35-year-old sister Melissa has thyroid cancer. She has surgery to remove her thyroid and nearby lymph nodes. That evening, she develops a large blood blot and has to go back to the OR. In the morning, her fingertips tingle and they give her calcium and vitamin D.
There's an Art to End-of-Life Care, and It Has Everything to Do With Communication
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. As an intern, I would feel awkward whenever I tried to convince a very sick patient or their family to change their code status from “full code” to “do not resuscitate, do not intubate.” Sometimes they appeared offended, possibly thinking that I did not have the patient’s best interests in mind. These conversations often carry misunderstanding and create a chasm in the patient-doctor relationship.
The White Coat Disguise
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. I was unloading boxes moving in prior to starting residency when my mother, being the good Midwesterner that she is, walked over to my new next door neighbor to chat. The first thing she offered was that her daughter (me) was a doctor. As in, “Hello! Nice to meet you. My daughter is a doctor!” My dad did the same with the people across the street.
What Will Your Colleagues Say About You When You Retire?
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. A few months before COVID-19 swept the country, one of my surgical colleagues retired and his department arranged for a celebratory dinner, inviting people from the various parts of his life. There was an outpouring of response, and the large room was packed. Friends and co-workers gave speeches brimming with warmth, admiration, and love. Tributes were peppered with stories, inside jokes, and good-natured ribbing.
Why I Chose to Be Unemployed Rather Than Stay At My Hospital
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. When your ankles are tied together, you don't so much walk as shuffle. So when the man told me to walk forward, I hobbled to the end of the edge of the precipice and looked out on nothing — about 140 feet of nothing that ended in an impossibly blue river. “Let go of the railing,” the voice behind me instructed. I wasn't sure if I could let go.
My Patient's Last Word was Her Grandson's Name
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Minutes after our patient was moved up to the floor, we got a call that her nurses wanted to call a respiratory therapist. “Mrs. Nancy” was an elderly woman with a complicated past medical history presenting with shortness of breath and altered mental status.
A Psychological Profile On Obi-Wan Kenobi — Culture Slate
4. Feeling very upset when something reminded you of a stressful experience from the past - 4. Owen's zinger, "Like you trained his father," clearly hurts Obi-Wan. 5. Having physical reactions (e.g., heart pounding, trouble breathing, sweating) when something reminded you of a stressful experience from the past - 3. For example, this happens when the Third Sister tells Obi-Wan that Anakin is still alive. 6.
Bad Reviews Are Not All Bad
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Gone are the paternalistic days when patients revered doctors. A bad review can create the fear that your patients and referring clinicians will start to doubt you. But all is not lost. You can look at patient reviews strategically. Bad reviews are not always bad, and most of the time, they reveal an opportunity to course-correct rather than a scathing personal indictment.
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Rushing to the start of my hospital weekend coverage, the pager went off: Can you please call me regarding an end-of-life situation? As a palliative and hospice fellow at a large academic center, it was not uncommon to receive messages like this. It did feel different that the message was coming from an attending surgeon at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I decided to call from the car.
Unscripting the Well-Child Visit
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. The well-child visit was one of the first skills I first had to master when I started working in pediatric primary care many years ago. It didn’t take long for me, bright-eyed and fresh out of school, to memorize the standard questions: Does your child get 2–3 cups of milk a day? Eat five fruits and vegetables? Get one hour of physical activity? Do you limit screen time to less than two hours a day? Easy enough.
Why I Try to Know My Patient's World, in Addition to Their Body
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. She was from my parents’ generation; he was from mine. Her childhood was dominated by the Great Depression, his by the Cold War. She was in her early 20s during World War II; he spent his early 20s in Vietnam. Her oral cavity cancer was likely related to radiation treatments for her teenage acne; his was, no doubt, from his smoking. Although they never met each other, they will forever be inextricably linked in my memory.
Aligning Your Personal Narrative with Your Personal Statement
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. As students filed into the classroom for my annual Personal Statement Writing Workshop, one of the rising senior medical students approached me. The application deadline was only a few weeks away, but she was still struggling mightily with her specialty choice. “I thought I had it all figured out, but now I’m not so sure. So many of my rotations were amazing!” “Tell me more,” I said.

How Embracing the Unknown Has Helped Me Move Forward in Medicine
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. I always feared the question mark. Question marks need answers, and I long feared giving an incorrect one. In the classroom, an incorrect answer could mean a failing grade. In the clinic, an incorrect diagnosis could lead to a failed treatment. Outcomes could be even worse in surgery. Failure was a frightening endpoint. Question marks also represent an unknown, and I was never comfortable with the unknown.
Loving the Difficult Patient
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Recently, I found myself ending a phone conversation with a long-term patient with the words “Love you!” KJ is a squat, emotionally volatile 77-year-old woman who tends to compensate for her small stature with an outsize presence. She has an expressive face, arched eyebrows, upturned nose, and mobile lips. Her whole demeanor exudes energy.
What I Am Looking Forward to at AAO-HNSF 2021
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. When I was younger, the fall and the beginning of a school year was my favorite time of the year. I loved shopping for school supplies and setting up my school supplies. The excitement was palpable when I thought of gathering new notebooks, highlighters, and pens, imagining how and what I’d learn. Some students like to shop for new school clothes, but I always prefer to shop for my new books, special pens, and markers.
HFSA 2021 Was a Reflection of Both the Science and Society of 2020
Op-Med is a collection of original articles contributed by Doximity members. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2019 was the last conference I attended in person. In many ways I was looking forward to this conference being in person, so we could come full circle and celebrate the end of the pandemic. As I write it today, I realize we are nowhere near, especially in the south of our country.
Patient involvement in regulation: an unvalued imperative
There is now an imperative for medical regulators to involve patients and the public across the range of their work, in the same way as it has become accepted practice to involve patients in decisions about their medical care, as part of mainstream existentialist philosophy. However, patient involvement remains largely unvalued for its influence on decision making about approval of medicines and medical devices, or their withdrawal from use because of safety signals.
