我最喜爱的电视角色之一是加尔文,悬崖上的万事通邮差电视节目欢呼。我真的很喜欢他的古怪的幽默感和感情有趣但无用的事实。当我在医学院和转录课堂笔记做额外的钱,我会把一些悬崖Clavin-style一文不值的琐事结束时指出,以防有人在我的观众欣赏喜剧救济组织学否则艰苦的三页的笔记。我记得有一集特别是欢呼,悬崖的危险,最后给出危险回答“阿利奇,伯纳德•施瓦兹和露西尔LeSueur。”他回答的问题,“谁是三个人从来没有在我的厨房吗?”他的回答是滑稽的,因为从技术上讲,他是正确的。更隐式的一点是,虽然这些人都是著名的,我们可能会认为我们很了解他们,我们不知道他们很好,他们一直在我们家里。我们没有与他们“餐桌”的关系。
时事让我思考我的关系。我知道,我知道餐桌?特别是对我的病人,我想说我知道他们很好,考虑到保密和内层的经验与我分享。然而,没有一个人在我的厨房。也就是说,直到现在。大流行已迫使许多人以非传统方式行医。在我们physician-owned multi-specialty集团三个初级护理医师修补虚拟访问前的大流行。十天内,我们现在有130个医生每天做许多虚拟访问。我们的办公室访问的体积立即削减至少50%。虚拟访问是唯一的工具我们必须照顾我们的病人,让他们在家里,而且仍然保持生产力。 It also brought an unexpected dimension to the relationships I have with my patients. Even though it is virtual, there is an intimacy with my patients that an in-office visit doesn’t have. I am connecting with them right in their kitchen. And they are connecting with me in mine. I would never have guessed that the 48-year-old serious, always impeccably dressed banker would have a collection of Superman magnets on his refrigerator. My 74-year-old widowed patient has an obvious love of butterflies, as evidenced by the theme in her kitchen. They are probably looking behind my shoulder and seeing what is in my kitchen. The artwork of my children scotch-taped over every square inch of one wall. A Dr. Seuss vowels and consonants poster. A table with Legos strewn everywhere. They are seeing me in my element as a mother, probably quite unlike the professional image they had of me in my office. Even though I have known some of them for years, in some ways, it is like I am learning about them in a completely different way. As a primary care doctor, I appreciate knowing those seemingly useless facts about my patients because it enriches my understanding of them as a person.
这种流感大流行已经非常具有挑战性的和毁灭性的,但我们已经看到很多好故事来自它。我获得了更深的关系我的病人由于几乎在他们的厨房。历史上第一次,世界上大多数人被推入到一个强迫,同步时间。让我们不要把它看成是一种惩罚,而是一次加强关系和我们之前从来没有与别人联系的方式。实际上你可以邀请谁参加你的桌子上吗?也许你会有机会在你的病人的厨房。如果你花时间去观察,你就会更了解他或她。这次大流行结束时,我希望我们能更好地了解这些餐桌的关系。
