Description

Are you a doctor or doctor in training who’s found yourself more emotionally affected by your patients, more startled by your pager buzzing, more overwhelmed by the sights, sounds and smells of the hospital and more obsessed and exhausted by the desire to get everything right? If so, you may be a highly sensitive MD.The Highly Sensitive MD Podcast explores what happens when highly sensitive people (HSPs) become doctors - why we choose medicine, how our sensitivity shows up in training and practice, why we are more prone to burnout (but also make the best doctors), and finally, how we can thrive in medicine by better understanding and embracing our sensitivity. The podcast is hosted by Dr. Sonia Singh, a board-certified internist, HSP and author of “Morning Report” (NEJM, 2017) and “Open Letter to a Burned Out Intern” (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2020). Her mission is to show other highly sensitive doctors that they are not alone, there is nothing wrong with them, and their sensitivity is one of their greatest gifts.
