I often refer to my career in healthcare administration during specific years as "doing time," therefore, this article piqued my interest today. A few excerpts from a letter to the American Board of Internal Medicine written by a medical oncologist nearly everyone with a medical license can relate to: "In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- both of whom penned essays while they were serving jail time -- and in follow-up to the previous letters I scribed from a Cleveland jail, I write to you from the dark and dank confines of emotional prison in South Florida, a victim of the poor choices I've made in life. As usual with your exams, my favorite aspect is the "pretest question." With these, we pay you large sums of money so we can fret over the correct responses to, and help you validate, questions that don't count, and for which we might waste one or more of our precious 30 extra minutes. In one LKA assessment session, these accounted for one out of every six questions I answered! And like with the 4-minute timeout on questions, a message pops up at the end informing us that we just spent 4 minutes worrying unnecessarily about a poorly worded question, or potential answers that didn't quite make sense and that we are worthless and weak and should consider a career in The Law. Again, I'm blaming your older brother for this one. It's like the time he told you that you were in trouble with your parents and had to behave extra good to keep from getting punished, including doing his chores and fetching him the food and beverage of his choice, only to find out later he had made the whole thing up. And then, he still gives you a purple nurple. Finally, as with your 10-year MOC exam, having to answer 30 medical oncology questions -- of which approximately 48 are about patients with breast cancer -- is an exercise in futility for someone who specializes in rare hematologic malignancies like me. Admit it, ABIM: if God forbid, your older brother developed leukemia, you would want him to see a specialist like me, right? I'm sure you will agree, my knowing the appropriate therapy for a post-menopausal woman with stage III, triple-negative breast cancer won't help me treat his leukemia any better. Nor will the purple nurples your LKA exams keep giving us. So, here's my advice, ABIM, delivered as a kinder, nurturing older brother, might dispense advice: make maintenance of certification relevant to our specialty medical practices; eliminate the nonsensical time limits for responses; and stop treating us like your gullible, younger siblings. We deserve better." Here's to restoring joy to life in medicine for those who feel imprisoned. ❤️ #moc #abms #cmecredits #waste #moralinjury #physicianadvocacy #exitplanning #physicianretention

Worth a read! A totally undermined issue but if addressed, can help to improve healthcare a lot!
What does it take to be a good doctor ? I had a patient with a complex oncology condition who lived in a remote area. After a prolonged admission, he was ready for discharge but still at risk for complications. Although his distance from the hospital posed a significant risk if he became sick again, he wished to return home. To ensure his safety, I provided him with my direct cell phone number and the direct contact information of my team members, instructing him to reach out if he needed any assistance. This way, we could offer advice or coordinate with a nearby hospital to ensure he received the appropriate medical treatment if needed. He was given copies of his medical records too. Just before the last Eid, he went home and was doing well. However, on the second day of Eid, he called me with concerning symptoms. Since it wasn’t feasible for him to travel over three hours to our hospital, I directed him to the nearest emergency room. I asked him to update me once he arrived so I could explain his condition to the attending physician and guide his treatment. Given his complex oncology condition, it was crucial for the ER physician to understand his detailed medical history, including bacterial resistance and previous drug side effects, to provide appropriate care. Upon his arrival, the physician refused to take my call, telling the patient that “it wasn’t his job to receive instructions from outside physician and he knows what he is doing”. I couldn’t reach the doctor through the hospital operator, and without my knowledge of his treatment, his condition deteriorated over the next few days. Eventually, we managed to communicate with the team caring for him and requested his transfer to our hospital. After being transferred, as expected we found out that the patient did not receive the appropriate treatment , He went through a very tough course, which could have been prevented if not for the physician's ego , he eventually got better but remains in the hospital for over 2 months now. This incident underscores how physician ego, carelessness, and disrespect for other healthcare providers can lead to significant morbidity and putting patients’ life at risk.This case also demonstrates how simple communication, which could have taking just few minutes, could have saved the patient from significant risk and even possible death. Physician ego is one of the biggest reasons for failure, whether at the beginning or peak of a career. I always tell my trainees and team members to put the patient first, regardless of their personal ego. While confidence is necessary in the medical profession, an inflated ego can have detrimental effects on patient outcomes, as illustrated by this story. Some physicians forget that we have taken an oath to prioritize our patients' best interests above all else. We must always remember to keep this oath alive, no matter what. So, what does it take to be a good doctor? Be humble first; everything else comes second.

This goes out to all healthcare professionals. Dismissive behavior, ego, and the "adaptation" that inevitably develops in some healthcare professionals towards the pain of their patients due to "routine" is devastating for patients emotions and prognosis. Despite the 'habit' that comes with every day practice, healthcare persons cannot afford to be dismissive, disconnected, or unempathetic towards their patients. Multiple studies report the significance and correlation between the patient's comfort with their doctors and their response to treatment. Support goes out to all healthcare professionals going above and beyond for their patients! #UAE #Healthcare #Hospitals

This incident underscores a critical issue in our profession: physician ego and poor communication can significantly jeopardize patient outcomes. Simple, timely communication could have prevented this patient's suffering. In my experience at both Hospital Serdang and Hospital Sultan Ismail, I often faced similar challenges when referring patients to specialized teams—whether internal medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, paediatrics, or ob/gyn. It was not uncommon for referrals to be rejected or passed around, prolonging the patient's wait time and increasing their risk. These delays were often rooted in inter-departmental egos and territorial disputes. The key takeaway here is that patient care must always come first. We can save lives by setting aside our egos and fostering a collaborative environment. Confidence is essential in our field, but an inflated ego can have detrimental effects on patient outcomes. As doctors, we've taken an oath to prioritize our patients' best interests. It's crucial to keep this oath alive in all our interactions and decisions. Humility, respect for our colleagues, and a patient-first mindset are the true hallmarks of a good doctor. So, what does it take to be a good doctor? Be humble first; everything else comes second.
