Managing Emotions In Medical School Analysis

Decent Essays
Hello James! I really enjoyed reading your post and liked the way you have systematically summarized the article about managing emotions in medical school. I found this article a very interesting read, mainly because it gives us an insight to the way things work in a medical school and the hardships medical students go through in their course of study. Moreover, your example of dramaturgy in professions involving customer service is very relatable for me, since I also come from a profession that demands to place your customer/client first, at least in the front region to remain in face. I feel it is very natural for people in such professions to vent with their co-workers in the back region and laugh it off. In this regard I completely agree

    However, the author does decide to conclude using pathos (emotion) at the end of her article. Using pathos at the end allows the reader to see that there is indeed a problem, then feel that there a need for change. About midway through the article, she states, “Adults often tell high school seniors that they are on the doorstep of the best four years of their lives. But over half of all freshmen in the survey said they were having a difficult time making new friends and struggling to feel as though they belonged” (Heffernan). The feeling of not belonging takes an intensely emotional toll on the body, which shows why the average college freshman feels as though college experience is the best thing for them.…

    Analogies In his autobiography, When Breath Becomes Air, Paul Kalanithi explains his thoughts, feelings, and situations through descriptive analogies in order to demonstrate the evolution of his perspective on the importance of doctor patient relationships. He found himself struggling to separate his patients from the paperwork, but at times, the toll of emotions made it clear how much of an impact he had on so many people’s lives: “Some days this is how I felt when I was in the hospital: trapped in the endless jungle summer, wet with sweat, the rain of tears of the families of the dying pouring down” (Kalanithi 78). Suggesting their tears are the rain pouring down on him as he is the outsider, readers understand the reasons most doctors choose to resort to detachment, and the difficulty Kalanithi faces going against this…

    This week’s reading made me introspect about my personal opinions and emotions during crucial conversations. Honestly, I was taken aback when Patterson Grenny, McMillan, and Switzler(2012) discussed we, ourselves are the reason to create emotions that upset us (frustration, anger, fear, and insult). Further, the authors discuss that once these emotions are created we either act on them or be acted on by them (p.104). Last week, I faced a not-so-pleasant situation with one of the certified nursing assistant(CNA) in my facility.…

    When I am faced with a critical incident some patterns that I see are, my ability to take a step back to organize myself, while also keeping my breathing in check. Since the first mindfulness practice, I have improved my ability to talk myself through these incidences so I can focus on what I need to do and have built more confidence in my skills.
