10. A new approach to challenging patients_part 1

Welcome to TheCompassionRX a podcast inspired by my personal experience with burnout and witness to the desperate need for more compassion and humanity in the healthcare system.  

 

Are you a PA who:  rushes through challenging patient encounters?  Experience a knee jerk response to turf all difficult patients to behavioral health?  Or maybe you feel like a doormat when challenging patients come in?  You belong here friend, and this episode is for you!

 

My name is Kristen Jardine. A Lifestyle Medicine PA-C for many years, I learned the hard way how sneaky and unexpected burnout can be, along with the devastating impacts it can have on your life. In this episode, I share: 

 

  • How neuroscience simplifies understanding of challenging patient behavior
  • The amazing design of the human brain 
  • 3 distinct ways patients present 
  • A rapid assessment tool for the patient in front of you

 

 

May this episode bless you! 

 

❤️You. Are. Loved.❤️ 

Kristen
