Mindful Dentist
D'Arro, Carmelina
Christiana Care Health Systen
Dental anxiety challenges patients and providers alike, creating barriers to care, increasing pain perception, and increasing the time and effort required to complete treatment. While patient-centered dentistry invites us to care for the person attached to the teeth, many dentists feel ill-equipped to handle the many emotions that arise during dental treatment. Mindfulness and the practices that cultivate it are invaluable to the provision of patient-centered care in four respects: 1) it provides balance to the dental professional during stressful times, 2) it cultivates the qualities of a patient-centered health care provider 3) it guides actions necessary to meet a patient’s needs, 4) it provides techniques that patients can themselves use to find balance during stressful times. All of these fruits of mindfulness practices are demonstrated in three true vignettes of fearful patients who were treated by the author. Video footage of the three stories is also provided.

At the Heart of Trauma-Informed Care
Lloyd, Marguerite Cooper
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
“Trauma-informed care” provides a framework to guide clinicians in responding to the epidemic of trauma. Yet few clinicians feel comfortable defining trauma-informed care or describing how it translates into practice. This reflective piece suggests four dimensions of trauma-informed care: 1) Awareness of the prevalence of trauma and its long-term effects on physical and emotional health to every encounter; 2) attitudes that recognize resilience and take into account how trauma may influence behavior and engagement in care; 3) an approach to care that prioritizes safety, choice and collaboration while working to build trust; and 4) education regarding trauma’s effects, and connection to resources to support healing. These dimensions seek to clarify the provider’s role in creating a trauma-informed health care environment and stimulate reflection on how best to serve patients affected by trauma.

Hypnosis in Childbirth: Beyond Pain Control
Weigens, David
McGill University
Pain control in childbirth is a special case because childbirth is not an illness. We are obliged to treat it differently from the pain of disease.
Hypnosis can complement the best prenatal preparation. Most women whose bodies and minds are prepared for labor, who are adequately supported throughout, and whose self-esteem is intact have safer, more comfortable childbirth and considerably less need of drugs.
Hypnotic suggestion and imagery begun early in pregnancy help a woman to work with and assist her own physiologic processes. With hypnosis, a woman can be helped to transcend many limits of expectation and to participate fully in one of life’s sublime dramas.

Inviting Introspection:Intentions for Ethical Engagement in Practice
Ventres, William
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
The practice of medicine is full of ethical challenges. Although ethical principles and organizational formats can help clinicians manage these challenges, they do not necessarily help them develop the routine habit of bringing a focused ethical attentiveness to every patient encounter. In this article, the author—a seasoned generalist practitioner—describes how he has personally worked to cultivate this habit by holding in mind four introspective intentions. These intentions are aimed at alleviating suffering, promoting dignity, recognizing interdependency, and advancing wisdom, respectively. The author presents these intentions, reviews some benefits by which they enhance his work, and discusses some concerns they pose. He concludes by inviting other health care professionals and bioethical specialists to consider integrating intentions into their own clinical and consultative practices.

Mindfulness and Compassion as Antidotes to Physician Addiction
Dobkin, Patricia Lynn
McGill University http://mcgill.ca/wholepersoncare
Addiction, broadly defined, is common in healthcare settings. A person can be addicted to substances, junk food, work, power, money, using mobile devices, and so on. The problem is generally ignored until dire consequences occur (e.g. a critical mistake is made, or the clinician acts in an unprofessional manner). Once identified, addicted physicians are usually referred to Physician Health Programs i.e. sent elsewhere to deal with their presumed personal issues. A Buddhist view of addiction differs from Western psychology and psychiatry in that it examines compulsive behaviours in the light of ‘common humanity.’ Craving is seen to be the cause of (all) suffering. Obsessions (about the desired object) occur in the mind; this then triggers compulsive acts. And thus, treatment includes examining how the mind works, how it influences behaviours, and how it can be used to heal suffering.

Humanism in medicine
Kaleka, Kultaj
University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3055-0762
The piece is an essay or reflection on the importance of humanism in medicine. The author encourages clinicians, first and foremost, to consider their relationship with patients from the vantage point of a shared humanity. This view allows for a better understanding of patients' needs and ensures patient-centered care.

Caring for patients near the end-of-life at Mayo Clinic: a narrative
Ingram, Cory
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA
I’m a palliative care and hospice doctor focusing my clinical care on families near the end of life. It has been a great privilege to be welcomed to the bedside of so many seriously ill and dying patients to care for them and their families. Pursuing geriatrics and palliative care were not always met with welcome sentiments from my peers. “You’re going to take care of sick and dying patients.” “It is so depressing.” My experience is that geriatrics and palliative care are a little like peeking through the old skeletal keyhole into a living room. You have to get up real close to peek inside and if you dare to go through and enter in, a whole new world opens. It is often a sacred space. A space for a team of professionals caring together.

When routine screening is not routine
Millstein, Jeffrey
Penn Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, USA
In our current environment of value based care and payment models, greater emphasis is placed on completing evidence based, routine screening tests for patients. While there is clear preventive health benefit, population based initiatives may overlook opportunities to prepare individual patients for possible abnormal results. Efforts to manage expectations, address health literacy gaps and ensure emotional support may help limit unnecessary distress and suffering during the screening process.

Creating healing spaces for residents using Narrative Medicine
Lijoi, Andre F.
WellSpan York Hospital, York, PA, USA https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1198-5584
Factors that detract from making meaningful connections with patients and finding meaning and joy in medical practice have found their way into resident education. Burnout and moral injury are increasingly reported by residents across specialties. [1, 2] A curriculum in Narrative Medicine was established at a community hospital family medicine residency as an antidote to these influences. Evaluative survey data and qualitative semi structured interviews reveal that the program created healing spaces for residents. This essay describes the program features and the evidence provided by the residents endorsing the healing impact of the program.
