\\n\\nEpisode Summary:
\\n\\nAs an ER doctor in an overworked healthcare system, Omar Guzman isn\\u2019t always able to build the relationships with patients the way he\\u2019d like to. For our show, Omar tried a practice called the 7 Elements of Respect. By contemplating his own motivations and biases, practicing deep listening and prioritizing relationship-building, Omar was able to develop a meaningful connection with a patient and was reminded of why he decided to pursue medicine. Later, we hear from Diane Johnson, the creator of this practice, to learn more about the multifaceted aspects of respect, and how developing empathic relationships can shape and strengthen our sense of community.
\\n\\nPractice:
\\n\\nAcknowledge the conflict and affirm your commitment to understanding and moving forward.
Ensure that you are staying honest and true to yourself.
Hear new perspectives by practicing deep listening.
Recognize the importance of emphatically interacting with others.
Let go of any pretenses or sense of ego by practicing humility.
Notice how these actions affect your internal motivations.
Practice building relationships and connections with others.
