In this episode, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. John Lundell, who shares strategies for enhancing patient communication by minimizing medical jargon. Dr. Lundell highlights the importance of using relatable language, asking open-ended questions, and fostering trust through empathy. Drawing from his experience as an expert witness coach, he demonstrates how to simplify complex concepts with creative analogies, such as comparing receptor interactions to a game of "musical chairs."

Dr. Lundell emphasizes the importance of ensuring patients understand by encouraging them to ask open-ended questions and avoiding assumptions about their knowledge.

He also highlights the need to balance accuracy and clarity during informed consent discussions and in legal settings like courtrooms. Dr. Lundell recommends that healthcare professionals practice explaining medical concepts to non-medical friends or family and refine their communication based on feedback.

Bio.
John C. Lundell, the son of an electrical engineer and homemaker, aspired to be a doctor from an early age. After graduating from Brigham Young University, he earned an Air Force scholarship to Yale Medical School, where he met his wife, Andrea. Encouraged by her, he pursued anesthesiology, eventually becoming head of cardiac anesthesia at the Air Force’s primary teaching hospital in Texas.

During his military service, Major Lundell mentored trainees and wrote a booklet on anesthesia basics for students, which he revised and expanded over the years. He also deployed to Baghdad to support Operation Iraqi Freedom before leaving the military in 2004.

In 2005, the Lundells settled in Dallas, where Dr. Lundell joined Baylor University Medical Center. His booklet became a resource for medical students, residents, and nurses, with a new edition expected in 2025. Since 2018, he has worked as an expert witness and mentor for aspiring witnesses. Post-COVID, Dr. Lundell pioneered 3:2 job sharing to manage workloads, support his colleagues, and improve work-life balance.
