Post Type Why Medics Matter Podcast
In this raw and honest episode of Why Medics Matter, we step into the uncomfortable territory of shame in medicine.
It’s the feeling that keeps us awake at 3am replaying a patient encounter, the inner voice that tells us a clinical error is a moral failing rather than a human one.
In this episode we are joined by Dr Mike Blaber, Palliative Medicine Consultant in the West Midlands and and we explore shame and imposter thoughts and why sharing our shame stories can be incredibly powerful. Remember; You matter.
