Join us in this insightful podcast episode as we welcome Karen Leitner, an internal medicine-pediatrics physician and life coach, to discuss the unique challenges physicians face when their loved ones need medical care. Karen shares her personal experiences and sheds light on the logistical, internal, and resistance-related obstacles that can make it difficult for doctors to help their family members in the same way they do for their patients. Learn how embracing self-compassion can ease the emotional burden and navigate the complexities of being both a physician and a loved one. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation on finding balance, building understanding, and fostering self-compassion in the face of these difficult situations.

Karen Leitner is an internal medicine-pediatrics physician and life coach.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “When a loved one is a patient: Navigating the emotional burden for physicians.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With a growing physician shortage, increasing burnout, and declining patient satisfaction, a dramatic change is needed to make health care more efficient and effective and bring back the joy of practicing medicine. AI-driven ambient clinical intelligence promises to help by revolutionizing patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
