Which doctor would you pick: A physician who is kind and warm, or one who is cold but graduated at the top of the class in medical school?
By Emma Seppälä April 29 at 8:00 AM Which doctor would you pick: a physician who is kind and warm, or one who is cold but graduated at the top of the class in medical school?
Trzeciak is chair of medicine at New Jersey’s Cooper University Health Care and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, and Mazzarelli is co-president and associate dean of clinical affairs there. The authors share their research on the art of healing. This conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.Trzeciak: Compassion is an emotional response to another’s pain or suffering involving a desire to help. Compassion is often confused with a closely related term, empathy.
Mazzarelli: Another example is patients undergoing surgery. Studies show that warm, supportive interactions from either doctors or nurses right before going in for surgery resulted in patients being more calm at the start of surgery and a decrease in the need for opiate medication following surgery. Patients also spent less time in the hospital.Trzeciak: We believe most underestimate the power of compassion.
Mazzarelli: Compassion for others is a positive experience that increases one’s fulfillment in the practice of medicine and builds resilience and resistance to burnout.
