I was honored to be a guest on the podcast, Physician's Guide to Doctoring and enjoyed my interview with Dr. Bradley Block who writes 'we start out defining trauma and then get introduced to trauma-informed care. Interfacing with the medical system and physicians can be traumatizing and triggering, so we discussed ways to minimize that, and why it actually isn’t important to identify who needs trauma informed care. We should be taking a “universal precautions” like approach. She teaches us how to incorporate a routine of respectful care and how we can get the staff involved. The approach to patients needs to change from questions like “what’s wrong with you?” to “what happened to you?” but this needs to happen within the confines of our time limited schedules, so Dr. Gerber teaches out how to be effective while still respecting the time of those in the waiting room.
