Improving Surgical Outcomes Through Self-Awareness w/ Dr. Melinda Thacker | ENT Ep. 231

Let’s talk about what it really means to show up for your patients—and yourself—as a surgeon. In this episode of Backtable ENT, Dr. Mel Thacker, an otolaryngologist and founder of The Empowered Surgeon and the Surgeons with a Purpose Podcast, joins hosts Dr. Gopi Shah and Dr. Ashley Agan to discuss humanity in surgery, and how to stay grounded in a profession that demands so much of us. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Thacker shares her journey from experiencing anxiety and panic attacks in the operating room to becoming a coach who helps surgeons discover their purpose and practice medicine with greater humanity. They discuss the significance of self-awareness, the importance of protecting oneself as a valuable asset, and how to serve patients with compassion and empathy. Practical advice is offered on shifting mindset, engaging in meaningful connections with patients, and fostering a collaborative, rather than hierarchical, approach in medical practice. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 03:04 - Discovering Coaching 10:52 - Residency Reflections 23:06 - Improving Patient Relationships 29:48 - Coaching Surgeons and Addressing Emotional Growth 37:49 - Serving vs. Fixing: A New Perspective on Patient Care 44:09 - Daily Practices for Empathy and Self-Awareness 44:40 - Three Essentials for Success in Medicine 46:31 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts --- The BackTable ENT Podcast is a resource for otolaryngologists to learn tips, techniques, and practical advice on all things ear, nose, and throat.
