The Dr. Jules Plant-Based Podcast

The Alcoholic That Changed My Life

Dr. Jules Cormier (MD) Season 1 Episode 16

I've been in practice for almost 15 years and I've witnessed some pretty intense situations.  I'm not a brain surgeon, or an oncologist.  I don't cut people's skull open or prescribe chemotherapy, but I’m an expert in getting to know you. I know your kids.  And if you've been a patient of mine long enough, I might even know the name of your dog.  We’ve probably been through a lot together.  I'm "just" a family doctor, but you don’t have to feel bad for me purposely choosing to not add an extra 3 years of medical training to specialize.  That was a personal choice.  I wanted to be a family doctor.  I chose that path on purpose.  

What I like the most about being a family doctor is forming strong long-term bonds with my patients.  I often think about them even when I'm not at work.  They pop-up here and there in my thoughts, spontaneously distracting me from whatever I was doing.  Then my wife says "what are you thinking about?", to which I reply "Nothing".  I feel connected to them, and when I give them their difficult diagnosis, I feel it too.  How can doctors keep working day in and day out when most of the news they deliver is bad?
