(2/2)”What this taught us was that these frustrations extend far beyond the side of the patients. We walked away with an empathy for medical professionals on the other side who we now realize are feeling equally unsatisfied with the minimal time they are allowed to spend with each patient.” #medsky
We have a national shortage of doctors, getting worse. Why? Primary care docs have 26.7 hrs of work/day.
Artist Mary Lacy attempts to mimic schedule of a clinician, drawing portraits instead. Nurses, docs, social workers… 15m each, in LA.
Boston up next.

“Sometimes as a healthcare provider I can feel helpless and wish there was more I can do to help my patients. Some patient cases will always stay with me and make me wonder if there was more I could have done.”

Where Does It Hurt?
“When my best is not enough.”
#medsky #healthcare #medicine #physician #narrativemedicine
“I am a registered nurse in the ICU. What hurts is how the system is essentially set up to burn us out and we have to be safe and careful with our empathy if we want to survive in our lives outside of work...I can only do my best between the time I enter the room and leave it.”
#medsky #healthcare
“I worked in primary care where I was expected to see 50 patients in a span of 8hrs. I ended up leaving primary care and unfortunately that leaves 1 less provider. The type of care I could provide was dictated by insurance companies…I fear we will lose so many more providers.”

I was asked for words of encouragement to share our public health students. How do we not lose the next generation of public health leaders who are watching the state of our field?
My response- we tell them the truth. The greatest threat to public health is our federal government. We fight back.

Where Does It Hurt? has four core goals: STORIES, SPACES, TIME and AGENCY
The project draws parallels b/w the role of the artist and that of the clinician. It asks questions about the nature of care and it positions the humanities as an integral part of the public health workforce.
Setting up outside major medical centers across the country, artist Mary Lacy will attempt to mimic the schedule of a clinician. But instead of ‘seeing patients’, she will create portraits 🧵🪡
