PHYSICIANS - Learn the emotional superpower of hHppy Doctors Navigating a typical day in your practice is an experience in three distinct layers. 1) The Observable Actions Appointments, conversations (patients and staff), procedures, exams, tests ordered, EMR/documentation and all the rest. ~ the OUTER GAME 2) The Thoughts - all the thinking, thinking, thinking Differential diagnoses, decisions, relationship management ~ the COGNITIVE INNER GAME 3) The Feelings associated with all of the above How it feels to be short staffed, running late >> uncertain, disrespected, afraid, frustrated, exhausted, denied, unappreciated - punctuated by ocassional satisfaction, happiness, contentment and bliss. ~ the EMOTIONAL INNER GAME Layers 1 & 2 are your practice. You were trained for this. Layer 3 is the first-person experience of being a doctor. Specifically, YOUR experience of being a doctor in these challenging times. If layer 3 is not going well it can dramatically affect your ability to make it through the actions of the day, do a good job and not exhaust yourself in the process. And if your emotional experience of your practice is a negative one, I'm sure there are legitimate reasons you feel this way .... and yet, you still have to see the patients on today's schedule before you can check out and head back home. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to release those negative emotions - just let them go. Do the work in a calm, focused, efficient routine - no matter what is going on around you. No drama, no distractions. See the patients, do the notes and get back home to your family ASAP. 10 years ago I developed a mindfulness technique that gives you this superpower. I've taught it to thousands of doctors since then. Today I want to share it with you Learn how to become the Eye of the Storm with a single breath - any time you need it. It's all in an online video training series we call One Minute Mindfulness You can learn the SqueeGee Breath Release today Practice it today For immediate benefit with each breath POP yourself out of the whirlwind into a whole different head space and energy level ... every time. The videos can earn you up to 19 CME credits It's research-proven to lower stress in physicians. Lifetime Access is only $97 ! https://lnkd.in/gZzGCkNX ~ I learned how I could let go of all the worry with a breath no one else even notices. ~ "I feel like a healer again" ~ "Keeps giving me back time I would have normally wasted on worrying" ~ "Always puts me in a better mood, even when things are tough at work, or at home" ~ Your mindfulness curriculum has been the spark for something amazing for me ~ I started to see results within just a few days. ~ Now I use the squeegee breath in my everyday relationships and taught it to my staff and patients. ~ It always helps me calm down and be really present with the person in front of me at the moment.”

Healthcare Economics 101: "PROFIT MARGIN and Short-Staffing" Less salaries = More profit -- this cartoon shows you how it works. Every time a boomer doctor retires or quits and their slot is not filled PRONTO,the remaining doctors work ethic kicks in and they burn themselves out to cover the patient care demands The institution bumps up their profit margin And the manager gets a pat on the back for running a "tight ship" Know this: There is a massive finanacial DISINCENTIVE to hire and staff appropriately as long as you keep showing up and doing the work Managers everywhere prey on our ethics to pad profits - not ALL managers, but the majority for sure Forcing doctors to play chicken, pushed to the point of threatening to quit if you don't get reinforcements It is an obnoxious, evil management habit ...and so unnecessary This short staffing policy cripples the organization's long-term viability in search of short term profits (and executive bonuses) DOCTORS =>> GET OUT OF THERE Quit that Job - It's a fantastic job market with LOTS of virtual options. You do not have to put up with this manure. Here is our #1 Physician Job Search Training that guarantees your success in finding a MUCH better position. https://lnkd.in/g-cZUQUm I know you feel guilty just thinking about leaving "What about my patients? What about my staff?" That is what this manager is counting on ... your ethics and dedication. It is predatory behavior. Here's a Mantra we teach "Don't be the last rat off a sinking ship" AND LEADERS: Knock this evil behavior off ... dammit! As we slide into the Boomer Doctor Retirement Cliff - recruitment, retention and locums coverage should be your TOP PRIORITY

Each of these worlds is changing rapidly. We need your feedback to help us keep our training and support services hyper-relevant to your current situation. The survey is anonymous. I will get back to everyone on this mailing list with the trends that we discover.
