In this episode, we sit down with Dawn Baker, an anesthesiologist and author of Lean Out: A Professional Woman’s Guide to Finding Authentic Work-Life Balance, to discuss the dangers of the treadmill of achievement. We explore the unwritten rules about success and praise, how achievement can be addictive and dangerous, and the impact of hedonic adaptation on our pursuit of happiness. Dawn shares her insights on how our sense of self-worth can become intertwined with the treadmill of achievement and the resulting consequences on our priorities and values. Join us for an insightful conversation with a medical professional who brings a unique perspective on finding authentic work-life balance and living a fulfilling life.

Dawn Baker is an anesthesiologist.

She shares her story and discusses her book, Lean Out: A Professional Woman’s Guide to Finding Authentic Work-Life Balance.

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

Ambient intelligence augments human capabilities to make our lives easier. The applications are many, especially in health care. Ambient clinical intelligence is offsetting the most pressing challenges in health care today, such as burnout, physician shortages, physician and patient dissatisfaction, and underperforming financial outcomes, by applying the technology to clinical documentation. 

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, utilizes artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automatically document care. It securely listens to and captures the natural, clinician-patient encounter conversation unobtrusively, and turns that conversation into a clinical note for the clinician’s review and signature directly in the electronic health record. You just talk naturally, and DAX does the rest. 

DAX is being used by thousands of physicians across 30 different specialties nationwide. It has already won the Silver Stevie award in the health care technology category and was ranked #1 for improving clinician experience in KLAS’s top 20 emerging solutions.
