We have some pretty good information on how trauma works and I think it's time we really made adjustments to counter that kind of tough it out narrative.
Imagine facing life-and-death situations daily. Healthcare workers do just that, often without regular emotional check-ins. In this episode of 'Recovery Machine', hosts Nathan McLean and Corey Williams tackle the critical need for ongoing trauma assessments in high-risk healthcare settings. They dive into the current debriefing processes and discuss the profound benefits of implementing periodic trauma assessments for acute care professionals. Nathan and Corey highlight the dangers of desensitization and emphasize the need for direct action to address trauma effectively.
They even suggest incorporating palliative care techniques in emergency departments to offer better support for these frontline heroes. The hosts also touch on the relentless time pressures in emergency departments and argue for quarterly reviews to help healthcare workers cope better. Nathan sums it up perfectly: 'We have some pretty good information on how trauma works and I think it's time we really made adjustments to counter that kind of tough it out narrative'.
If you're interested in understanding how regular trauma checks can make a world of difference for those in high-stress medical environments, this episode is a must-listen.
