 Part 3 of this Series "Coaching a Suicidal Physician Client" is AT THIS LINKBehind the white coats and stethoscopes, there lies a profound truth - doctors, too, are human.Joining me again are I.C.F.-Certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com - Pam Pappas MD and Penelope Hsu MD, to continue the three-part series on recognizing and preventing physician suicide. In part one, Dr. Pappas and Dr. Hsu bravely shared their own experiences with suicidal ideation. In part two, we discuss what to do if you suspect a colleague is having suicidal thoughts and how to reach out to express our concern. We also explore the barriers to seeking help including imposter syndrome, shame, and guilt. While we may not be able to prevent every instance of physician suicide because of their never-show-weakness programming, we have the power to make a difference through our compassion. Whether we're colleagues, friends, family, or just part of a tribe, we can reach out and give support to someone who might be in a tough spot. Our job is to look out for each other and make sure we have each other's backs even if they tell you to go away and leave them alone. You’ll never know when a simple yet genuine gesture of empathy can save someone’s life.“If you do reach out, you're not going to get rebuffed. If you can hold on somehow through all that darkness, the love that you would give is right there for you. They're going to be there. You just have to say something.” - Penelope Hsu MD“An antidote to shame is the self-compassion. If we're the safe place, then people feel safe to tell their story and somehow the shame starts to ebb away.” - Pam Pappas MD Subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKREpisode Highlights:~~ Social isolation and the theory of suicide~~ Fostering a culture of kindness, compassion, and community~~ Trust your instincts and reach out to show you care~~ Breaking down the wall of impostor syndrome and cracking the shell of shameResources:Preventing Physician Suicide Part 1: Recognizing You Are At Risk - The First-Person Experience of Suicidal Ideation https://bit.ly/Suicidal_Ideation-1Physician Support Line https://www.physiciansupportline.com/888-409-0141Connect with Dr. Hsu: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Hsu: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-penelope-hsu-md Website: https://drpenelopehsu.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penelope-hsu-3796395/Connect with Dr. Pappas: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Pappas: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-pam-pappas Website: https://drpampappas.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pampappasmd/ Watch this episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zks9w0cU3hkContact Dr. Drummond: Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact~~~~~~~~~~Explore physician leadership tools and strategies to stop physician burnout, enhance physician wellness and give you the power of personal influence in the C-Suite.

However, as he shadowed doctors in hospital systems, he noticed their dissatisfaction. This led him to trailblaze the Direct Primary Care (DPC) industry. Since 2016, his companies have launched and supported 130 DPC practices across 37 states in the US. After launch, clients have the option of becoming an employee, owning their own business with full assistance, or having an entirely independent practice.Chris and I discuss the Concierge/DPC business model. He explains how DPC allows physicians to make twice as much money while seeing fewer patients, leading to a better work-life balance. He also gives the benefits of DPC for rural healthcare and the potential for specialists to adopt this model. Christopher stresses the importance of providing options and enabling physicians to practice medicine as they were trained.As more physicians embrace DPC, the future of medicine looks promising, with improved patient care and a return to the values that inspired many doctors to enter the field in the first place.“Just making physicians their own boss, that is the best way that we have seen time and time again to help solve burnout.” - Christopher Habig  Episode Highlights: The inspiration behind DPC DPC 101: Make more money, see fewer patients Platform to provide support and guidance to start a successful practice A practice model for rural healthcare and the future of medicine in the USA  Connect with Chris: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/direct-primary-care/ Freedom Health Works: https://freedomhealthworks.com/ Freedom Doc: https://freedomdoc.care/ Healthcare Americana Podcast: https://healthcareamericana.com/ Watch this on Youtube: https://youtu.be/6COmAFXinFM Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummondContact Dr. DrummondEmail: support@thehappymd.comPhone: 206-430-1905Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact We would love to hear your feedback.

It pushes us forward beyond our limits to reach new heights. In the world of medicine, ambition is essential for doctors to survive the rigorous training process and thrive in their careers. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding about ambition and its negative associations.Together with Harjot Singh MD, we will look at what is ambition and how it can be a positive motivator. Dr. Singh is a child and adolescent psychiatrist, keynote speaker, and a physician leadership and communication coach here at TheHappyMD.com. In this conversation, we’ll discuss ambition as a positive force when used to build your ideal practice or work for the greater good. "How fired up are you?

PART TWO of this series "Reaching out to a Suicidal Colleague" is at THIS LINKWe kick off a seriously important three-part series that tackles something we all need to talk about more - preventing physician suicide. This week, I'm sitting down with two remarkable guests and I.C.F.-certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com, Dr. Penelope Hsu and Dr. Pam Pappas.We discuss the often-ignored topic of recognizing your own suicidal ideations and the immense implications it can bring along. Both Dr. Hsu and Dr. Pappas hold nothing back as they share their personal experiences with suicidal ideation and burnout. Their stories remind us why it's crucial for wellness leaders to show vulnerability, and to use their platforms as stages to empower others in their struggles."I think It is far more common than we think. Isolation is the thing that keeps us from acknowledging it within ourselves, of getting support, of sharing, of leaning on anyone. My hope would be that people can hear our stories and realize it doesn't mean you're weak. It doesn't mean you're broken. It just means you're human." - Penelope Hsu MD"Things are going on inside us all the time that may look very different on the surface and how other people see us. We know that physicians are extremely well-versed in trying to look more together than they actually feel. And the code of silence around depression and suicidality is extremely strong in our culture at large, but I think even more so in physicians because there are a lot of implications." - Pam Pappas MDSubscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKREpisode highlights:~~ The link between burnout and suicidal thoughts~~ Dr. Pam’s story: burnout, trauma, and the power of a listening ear~~ Dr. Penny’s story: isolation, creative calling, and the road back to medicine Resources: Physician Support Line https://www.physiciansupportline.com/ 888-409-0141Connect with Dr. Hsu: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Hsu: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-penelope-hsu-mdWebsite: https://drpenelopehsu.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penelope-hsu-3796395/Connect with Dr. Pappas:Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Pappas: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-pam-pappasWebsite: https://drpampappas.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pampappasmd/Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/zC_YanMxQCkContact Dr. Drummond Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact~~~~Explore physician leadership tools and strategies to stop physician burnout, enhance physician wellness and give you the power of personal influence in the C-Suite.

The assembly-line nature of this system with multiple payors and insurers creates a production-driven, disease-care grind naturally and automatically and has transformed the physician-patient relationship into a transaction.In contrast, ChenMed operates under a full-risk model. This allows physicians to focus on comprehensive care for medically complex and underserved populations. They prioritize long-term outcomes and patient well-being by taking full responsibility for the patient's total cost of care. This unlimited access ensures that physicians have the time and opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with their patients.Listen for a detailed compare and contrast of FFS and Full Risk as it applies to both the patient and the physician experience.  Episode Highlights: Dr. Syed and Dr. McCarter’s journey to joining ChenMed Fee-for-service vs full-risk model Physician and patient mindset shifts Drivers of waste in American healthcare delivery Full-risk model statistics in the American population Resources: ChenMed Website: https://www.chenmed.com/ Linkedin Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chenmed/Connect with Dr. Syed: Website: https://www.chenmed.com/blog/meet-doctor-faisel-syed-md Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfaiselsyed/Connect with Dr. McCarter: Website: https://www.jencaremed.com/our-care-providers/daniel-mccarter-md Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanmccarter/Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/0HENmuEB3FQ Burnout Proof MD 3-Layer Physician Support Ecosystem 1) COACHING - 2 hours of weekly group coaching on Zoom 2) TRAINING - Our Top-5 online video trainings - Burnout Proof Online Workshop -One Minute Mindfulness for Physicians - Ideal Physician Job Search Formula - Physician’s Guide to Managing Your Boss - Physician Leadership Power Tools 3) COMMUNITY - Private, members-only web portal for 24/7 support OVER 100 CME Credits per yearRisk-Free with our 30 Day Free TrialLearn more and start your Free Trial Here https://bit.ly/BurnoutProof-30FreeExplore physician leadership tools and strategies to stop physician burnout, enhance physician wellness and give you the power of personal influence in the C-Suite.

To talk more about this interesting program is this week’s guest, Marisa Emmons MD. She is the Vice President of Physician Integration and Shared Services at Christus Trinity Clinic. Dr. Emmons discusses the variety of initiatives that the clinic has implemented to support the wellness of its physicians - from providing resources, recognizing their work, offering in-person and virtual activities, and a lot more. This episode offers practical advice and data-driven insights to help other organizations create their own successful physician wellness programs.   “We said if we could create a clinic environment that our docs wanted to come work in, then we probably were making changes that meant that our staff was happier and that our patients wanted to come receive care there. So we knew if we could fix things for one group, we would be making it better for everyone.” - Marisa Emmons MD     Episode highlights: The Honeycomb Project: Creating a Corporate Wellness Program Easing physician burden through effective systems Wellness recognition, peer support, gratitude board, and other wellness strategies Determining the impact of the program by tracking key metrics Resources: Maslach Burnout Inventory Questionnaire https://www.mindgarden.com/117-maslach-burnout-inventory-mbi Glint Surveys: https://www.glintinc.com/blog/an-employees-guide-to-glint-surveys/   Connect with Dr. Emmons: Christus Health http://www.christushealth.org/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisa-emmons-md-mha-faafp-81324413/ Watch on Youtube:  https://youtu.be/owvGTnuh3aM   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact
