Inside the halls of American hospitals, millions of people find comfort, healing, and support. But for many doctors and nurses, this couldn’t be further from the truth. This podcast will dive into the shadows of American healthcare to investigate and uncover the abuse, control, and political power plays that leave the very people responsible for our nation’s health, broken and battered. We’re sharing stories of professionals in medicine that have experienced horrendous treatment at the hands of a broken system that does nothing to stop the trauma. As the Association of American Medical Colleges states, “Long before the #MeToo movement, women in medicine have instinctively banded together to counter a culture that too often tolerated harassment.” From systemic trauma to abuse of power to the unspoken rules of cover-ups and corruption, Mandy Irby and HeHe will take you to the darkest corners of healthcare in America so you can have an inside look at bringing humanity back to medicine!

Ep: 28: The Language Gap in Medicine on the Path to Trauma-Informed Care
Friday Apr 29, 2022
Friday Apr 29, 2022
This episode is a discussion on the evolving language in medicine and the heavy lifting that is required by consumers of medical care just to understand what everyone is talking about! We’ve noticed a difference in language spoken between colleagues vs spoken to patients and differences in the outpatient setting, in-patient setting, and even social media.
HeHe and Mandy sit down with Dr. Chrissy Sheeler, family practice physician in Canada, to share an interesting conversation we had in IG DMs that we wanted to continue - so we hit record! You get to listen in on this conversation, and Dr. Sheeler drops some awesome changes in language that you can start making to be more trauma-aware in your care, too.
Here are some great TIC resources below. They are geared towards physicians, but are applicable to everyone. The link to The National Council Curbside Consult has a fantastic chart that Dr. Sheeler actually printed out and has in her office that details TIC actions.
