Pump the brakes on your week and take 10 minutes to make your life as a surgeon just a little better…
Jeff welcomes ENT surgeon and professional coach Dr. Mel Thacker to the podcast.
There’s a fallacy among physicians that we have to show up in the clinic as the all-knowing ego in the white coat who has all the answers. But when we approach treatment this way, it actually disconnects us from our patients.
We need to learn how to step out of the hero identity because when we define ourselves as heroes, our patients often become victims. When we approach patient care humbly without the mindset that we’re “better” than our patients, it can create much better outcomes.
Instead of disempowering the patient, we lay out the situation as it currently stands and explain the options available. This invites the patient to become the creator of their own lives by giving them their power back.
What steps does Mel suggest we do to shift our mindset?
- Step 1 - Anytime you are feeling like a victim and you want to blame someone or something, ask yourself what you can create from this.
- Step 2 - Recognize when you see your patients inviting you into a collaboration of care.
- Step 3 - Try to move yourself out of the “hero” mindset and into a “coaching” mindset.
Most importantly, PRACTICE shifting your mindset from hero to coach!
