  15. How Doctors Think • “…few if any physicians work with this mathematical paradigm. The physical examination begins with the first visual impression” • “A phenomenon called the “eyeball test,” pivotal moment when a doctor identifies “something intangible yet unsettling in the patient’s presentation.” • “That freedom of patient speech is necessary if the doctor is to get clues about the medical enigma before him [sic]. . . On average, physicians interrupt patients within eighteen seconds of when they begin telling their story”

  16. How Doctors Think Yerkes-Dodson law of task performance

  17. The Art of Medicine • Negative feeling cloud judgment • Taking the time to sit and listen • Newman: applying the art as Hippocrates would have done • Plan for backup during a procedure = do the same with a complicated patient • Example: Spanish speaking patient with headache with 4 visits

  24. Complications • Impaired physicians

  25. Blink -> Complications

  26. Complications • “Medicine’s ground state is uncertainty. And wisdom- for both patients and doctors- is defined by how one copes with it” • Its OK to say “I don’t know”

  27. The House of God • 1978 • Shocking, hypersexual, coarse, and unprofessional • Embarrassingly real, burnout risk • Collects traditions and mottos of hospital medicine • Intro from How Doctors Think echoes some of these themes

  29. Rules of the House of God • GOMERS DON’T DIE • GOMERS GO TO GROUND • AT A CARDIAC ARREST, THE FIRST PROCEDURE IS TO TAKE YOUR OWN PULSE • THE PATIENT IS THE ONE WITH THE DISEASE. • PLACEMENT COMES FIRST. • THERE IS NO BODY CAVITY THAT CANNOT BE REACHED WITH A #14G NEEDLE AND A GOOD STRONG ARM. • AGE + BUN = LASIX DOSE

  30. Rules of the House of God • THEY CAN ALWAYS HURT YOU MORE. • THE ONLY GOOD ADMISSION IS A DEAD ADMISSION. • IF YOU DON'T TAKE A TEMPERATURE, YOU CAN'T FIND A FEVER. • SHOW ME A BMS WHO ONLY TRIPLES MY WORK AND I WILL KISS HIS FEET. • IF THE RADIOLOGY RESIDENT AND THE MEDICAL STUDENT BOTH SEE A LESION ON THE CHEST X-RAY, THERE CAN BE NO LESION THERE. • THE DELIVERY OF GOOD MEDICAL CARE IS TO DO AS MUCH NOTHING AS POSSIBLE.

  31. “In the [ED], as well, the jolt of feeling human refused to fade. I felt good, proud of my skills, excited. . . Sitting in the [ED] was like sitting on a bench in the Louvre; a human tapestry, ever unraveling under my eyes. Like Paris, the [ED] was a place unlimited in time: I’d leave it and it would go on with me until I returned. An immense, humbling eternity of disease.” - Samuel Shem, The House of God

  32. “Addicts trying to dupe you for dope, drunks, the poor, the clap, the lonelies- I hate ‘em all. I don’t trust anyone. It comes from being vomited on and spit at and yelled at and conned. Everyone’s out to get me to do something for their fake disease. The first thing I look for now is how they’re trying to take me for a ride.” - Samuel Shem, The House of God

  33. Conclusions • Wow, the New Yorker has some awesome writers • Challenge conventional thinking with data (EBM) • Deliberate practice is hard, but works • Disasters develop from a sequence of errors • Use heuristics, but be aware of sources of error • Avoid burnout
