The Broke Surgeon
Today, I actually do not want to talk about our healthcare system. With the changeover of the year, I want to use this time to reflect on my own life so far and where I see it going in the future. Not that today is any special day. Today is just another 24 hours of the Earth spinning on its own axis. But we assign something special to this time of year with the use of our completely made-up calendars. And so, with 2022 being a thing of the past, perhaps it does make some sense to reflect on the past and take a look ahead into the future.

Here is something I absolutely do not understand: blanket masking rules in healthcare facilities. Within the same county even, I go to facilities where I don't have to wear a mask. Some I do. Some I even have to wear N95s. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason for any of it because, at least theoretically, all of this is guided by the risk level in that county. And why are we only masking in healthcare facilities? Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com Get in touch: www.brokesurgeon.com/p/contact.html Twitter: twitter.com/felixboecker…
Narcotics are not bad. It's true! For acute pain, such as when you just broke your leg, were involved in a car accident, or suffered a gunshot wound, narcotics are great for reducing your fresh pain and seductively lull your brain into a sense of comfort at the same time. But we have begun using narcotics as a crutch for other "acute" pain such as when a patient needs to work with physical therapy. We are assuming that nothing should ever hurt. We are scored on how well we treat pain because pain is, apparently, not an accepted part of life. But without life, there would be no pain. And without pain, is there life?

We have all heard that a breakdown in communications is the number one reason for medical errors. It probably is the number one reason for errors in all parts of life. I bet most wars started because of failed communications. For me, I know that I have been struggling with good communication skills for most of my adult life and it's an area that I am actively working to improve. As humans, we have communicated with spoken language for over ten thousand years, and yet, we still can't get it right. And in today's world, where we have audio, visual, and text communications at our fingertips at all times, the quality of our communication seems even worse. Why is that? Why are we so bad at talking with each other? Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com Get in touch: www.brokesurgeon.com/p/contact.html Twitter: twitter.com/felixboecker…

What I want to discuss today is acknowledging the limits of our knowledge. It is perfectly okay to tell a patient or family member you don't know something. Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com Get in touch: www.brokesurgeon.com/p/contact.html Twitter: twitter.com/felixboecker
Yesterday at the gym, a mom had to bring her daughter into the weight room because she didn't have any childcare. And while most people probably thought this was either a liability to the gym or dangerous for the child, I thought, what better way to teach our kids the value of exercise! Exercise ... we all know it's part of a healthy lifestyle. But do we truly get the exercise we need? Do we even know what exercise we are supposed to get? And if we adults don't get this right, how can we ever expect our kids to learn?

An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure. We've all heard it. We all say it. We all pretend that preventive medicine is the best medicine. But what we are mainly practicing in the United States, and possibly the rest of the world, is reactive medicine: we react to a problem when it arises. So what exactly is preventive medicine? Do we want it? Why aren't we doing it? Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com Get in touch: www.brokesurgeon.com/p/contact.html Twitter: twitter.com/felixboecker…
ICD-10 ... it's the code which classifies and categories patient diagnoses and problems. For example, it's not enough to call something a venous leg ulcer because no one would be able to understand what you mean. But if you say I87.319, chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) with ulcer of unspecified lower extremity, then all of a sudden everyone knows exactly what problem you are talking about. Of course, you can be even more specific by using either I87.311 or I87.312 if you actually know which leg, left or right, the ulceration is on. Classifying diseases can be both useful, such as when trying to analyze large patient data sets, and mind-blowingly painful, such as when patients don't fit neatly into one of the over seventy thousand categories provided by ICD-10. Why are we using such a weird system? Is it really the best we can do? Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com Get in touch: www.brokesurgeon.com/p/contact.html Twitter: twitter.com/felixboecker…
When you walk into a hospital, the only thing we all know is that it's going to be expensive. No one, however, will know how much your expected services might cost. You are not given an estimate ahead of time. Nor would anyone truly know how to even put a cost estimate together for you. Is this really the best we can come up with? Can we truly not give cost estimates until after services are rendered? Why are systems so protective of their costs and charges?

In my last post I mentioned a few reasons for burn out in medical professionals. But I was called out as not providing any solutions. You're right. Thank you for pointing that out. I tell my kids all the time: don't whine, find solutions. And this project is supposed to be helping us find solutions to today's problems. So let's get right into it: solutions on how to decrease burn out for our medical professionals.

The number being tossed around is that one in five healthcare workers have quit since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. With increasing demands on the system by patients, from an aging population in addition to the pandemic, having fewer healthcare workers puts more strain on the ones left. Which compounds burn out and job dissatisfaction even more. What is causing the burn out? How did we get here? Why are our healthcare workers leaving? What needs to change in order to attract people back to this profession?

Since I am trying to improve the health and well being for all of us in America, I thought it would be a good idea to include a monthly challenge in this content. My plan is to challenge you every month to improve one little bit of your lifestyle so that you can become healthier in the process. For this first month it will be something super simple: drink more water. My water bottle: https://amzn.to/3ulreXT Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com…
Once upon a time, nurses cared and physicians cured. But in modern medicine, the only thing that matters is what we write in the electronic medical record. We have come from being a human and humane business to one of massive data generation. How did this happen? Why are we reducing people and their medical problems to clicks and bits inside a computer? What can we do to change this? Join the discussion at www.brokesurgeon.com Get in touch: www.brokesurgeon.com/p/contact.html Twitter: twitter.com/felixboecker…
