How can physicians practice Being in their work with patients and staff? Our guest Dr. Jeff Marrs, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement, explains what he’s learned about BEING competence and compassion with patients instead of DOING them.
You’ll discover the feedback Jeff received from a patient that sparked the changes he made in his approach to building relationships and creating the best possible outcome. You’ll find out why the “Time Out” taken immediately prior to surgery is critical for the team to create clarity around what they are Doing and who they are Being.
His approach to gaining commitment and establishing a strong agreement with a patient is key to their successful recovery. Jeff requires all his patients to read this book before he agrees to do their surgery: Painless: A novel about Chronic Pain and the Mind-Body Connection by Chana Studley
Everything Jeff shares about “Being in medicine” has direct application to your life, no matter what profession you’re in. Jeff’s passion for his patients and his work will inspire you to reflect on your own way of being with those who matter in your life.
