Medicus show

Summary: <p><strong>Dr. Pamela Wible is a family physician born into a family of physicians who warned her not to pursue medicine. She soon discovered why—to heal her patients she first had to heal her profession. Fed up with assembly-line medicine, Dr. Wible held town hall meetings where she invited citizens to design their own ideal clinic. Open since 2005, Wible’s community clinic has inspired Americans to create ideal clinics and hospitals nationwide. In between treating her own patients and helping doctors launch community clinics, Dr. Wible devotes herself to medical student and physician suicide prevention. She has investigated nearly 1,300 doctor suicides and her extensive database and suicide registry reveals highestrisk specialties—and solutions. Dr. Wible runs a free doctor suicide hotline and has helped countless medical students and physicians heal from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts so they can enjoy practicing medicine again. Dr. Wible speaks widely on health care delivery and physician suicide prevention.</strong></p> <p><strong>Episode produced by: Rasa, Dave, and Aaron</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.medicuspodcast.com/"><u><strong>www.medicuspodcast.com</strong></u></a><strong> | </strong><a href="mailto:medicuspodcast@gmail.com"><u><strong>medicuspodcast@gmail.com</strong></u></a><strong> | Donate: </strong><a href="http://bit.ly/MedicusDonate"><u><strong>http://bit.ly/MedicusDonate</strong></u></a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/medicus/message
