Why Did You Become A Physician?

 

Your life’s calling is to help and heal others.

 

 

If you’re like most physicians I’ve worked with, you didn’t learn about mortality in medical school.

 

 

For Many Physicians Death Is Viewed As A Failure.

 

Research shows a large number of physicians are uncomfortable discussing death with their patients.

 

 

"Death is not a failure. Death is normal. Death may be the enemy, but it is also the natural order of things"

(Atul Gawande, MD, MPH)

Research Indicates There Is A Connection Between Personal Experiences of Loss and Advance Care Planning.

 

“Our professional work is extremely personal in nature…we are profoundly influenced by our patients and their families as much as they are impacted and influenced by us…our emotional responses do impact the clinical moment – whether we want them to or not, whether we are aware or not, whether we can admit it or not.”

 (Katz and Johnson, When Professionals Weep)

 

 

 

What you really want is an understanding of why you’re afraid of death. You want relief from this heavy burden.
