    Tip "An adult relationship with my patients" by Rick Lippin on KevinMD

    An adult relationship with my patients

    Barrett, I thought of you immediately when I read this.
    Excerpt:
    "The excesses of paternalism in my practice of medicine have been replaced by a much more rewarding adult to adult relationship with my patients. Not shaking my finger at them or scolding them as “children” has helped them and me more than you can imagine." ~Rick Lippin MD

    Diane,

    This is perfect.

    Perhaps I'll copy the blog and post it on the wall where I work.

      Great find Diane.

      Do you think that excess paternalism is something people bring with them into their health care field or is it more like it develops insiduously over time?

        insidious ...

        John , from my experience this type of behaviour appears to be learned .
        I don't know why there is a tendency to alter ones tone of voice /facial gestures, appear brighter than bright and talk to people as if they were in infants school . Its quite common in departments where health professionals congregate and may explain a previous posters comments on having patients who have had joint replacements do OT ( pretend they were in infant school making cakes and folding sheets).
        Its odd that this kind of thing is written in 2011 .

          some adult information here too

          http://www.happinessinthisworld.com/

          These small weekly posts by this MD often contain some useful adult information .Alex's information on injuries was useful for the majority of problems for example.

            While the alteration of tone, etc. are certainly worthy of consideration in adult interaction, those things can happen with or without the paternalism part.

              I think it takes a long time to un-learn. I think it's probably an unconscious instinctive thing. Witness toddlers caring for their dolls. They immediately re-enact whatever sort of caretaking they've received. Little sponges, human are.

                I just got to your link Ian. Great blog. Removing a Splinter reminded me of The Use of Force by William Carlos Williams.

                I suppose that's why the quote in Diane's original post mentioned "excesses of paternalism". Interestingly, however, both essays I linked to above involved children, not adults.

                  Hey Jon I think the link for the use of force is broken.

                    Indeed it is. Thanks. I'd post another but a search with your favorite search engine will be more reliable. If I find a pdf of it, I'll upload that.
