Episode 1: Making Mistakes
from Thriving in Scrubs Hosted by Annie Robinson, MS, CHWC
One of the most traumatic experiences doctors go through is making mistakes. Though they try to prevent errors at all costs, they will inevitable make mistakes at some point in their training and career. How can they cope with the repercussions - for the patient as well as for themselves, legally, mentally, and emotionally? How can the medical community support one another through the process, instead of silencing the mistake, thus perpetuating shame and guilt? Jared, a Pulmonary and Critical Care fellow, shares his story of a mistake he made in training and how it has shaped his development as a physician.
