The Association Of Hobbies And Leisure Activities With Physician Burnout And Disengagement, Yan Li, Cindy Y. Lai, Bill Friedrich, Chenxing Liu, Joel H. Popkin
Journal of Wellness
Introduction: Burnout among physicians is a worldwide burden. While many causes of physician stress have been reported, we have found few quantitative studies of associations between burnout and participation in hobbies and interests outside of medicine. Our objective was to determine if health care professional burnout/disengagement could be mitigated by incorporating leisure interests and to characterize which specific interests, if any, are most significantly related.
Methods: We conducted an online survey of 2,563 US-based physicians and 512 residents/fellows and queried their participation in a list of 117 individual hobbies, which we then further categorized into three perceived levels …
The Apex Bone Wearing Out In The Light Of Sharia And Science, 2023 Jerusalem, Palestine
The Apex Bone Wearing Out In The Light Of Sharia And Science, Omar Gabis
An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities)
This research studies an issue in which Sharia scholars differed in the past, while was not of interest to scholars recently, namely: Does the last part of the human coccyx bone (apex) dissolve? Some hadith mentioned that the apex wears out, which was the reason for the divergence of the opinions of scholars in answer to this question over time. As far as informed, the researcher did not find a schooler who singled out this issue in any scientific research. The difficulty of answering this question may lie in the inability to conduct empirical research on this part, in addition …

When Was The Last Time That You Heard Of Ian Mckellen Blowing Out His Knee? The Performance And Practice Of Risk In British Professional Wrestling, Claire Warden, Dominic Malcolm, Anthony Papathomas, Sam West
Survive & Thrive: A Journal for Medical Humanities and Narrative as Medicine
Professional wrestling has a poor record of caring for athlete-artists’ health and wellbeing. The data gathered through the Health and Wellbeing in Professional Wrestling project aims to confront this issue. During the data collection process, we noted that interviewees’ reflections shifted the meaning of terms and ideas associated with wrestling but, until now, not fully understood. One such concept is risk. Wrestling has been criticised for being too risky by parents’ groups and teachers, and not risky enough by those who dismiss it as fake and phony. This article recognises that such miscomprehensions of wrestling risk have broader implications: an …
Blood As Currency In Professional Wrestling, 2023 University of Chester
Blood As Currency In Professional Wrestling, Lisa S. Butler
Survive & Thrive: A Journal for Medical Humanities and Narrative as Medicine
The practice of blading in professional wrestling is a performative act where a wrestler intentionally cuts oneself to inflict a bleeding injury. Audiences in the moment and long after the match invest significant consideration in working out whether blood and injury are a ‘work’, part of the performance or ‘shoot’, an actual injury.
This reaction demonstrates an argument for real and perceived injury to be understood as a popular attraction in the spectacle of pro-wrestling’s performance, and blood in particular as currency in the performer/audience transaction. This paper will focus on the performance of pre-determined injury as modes of communication …

The Qualitative Report
Current guidelines for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment state that all decisions should be shared with the patient. Therefore, it becomes necessary to understand in-depth how patients with RA with different levels of health literacy and activation feel about sharing the decision with the health professional and how they experience this process. Grounded theory was used. Data collection included semi-structured interviews with 14 patients with RA. From the analysis of the patients’ narratives, four categories were built: “Accepting the changes: non-shared decisions”; “The patient's rationale: why not share?”; “Reaching the requirements for sharing the decision: expanding the patient’s autonomy"; and "Experiencing …
Resilience, 2023 HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital
Resilience, Nicholas D'Angelo
HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine
On one of the busiest parkways, in the midst of a spring drought, despite the lack of soil a sunflower blooms. This tiny beacon of hope represents the enduring spirit of humanity managing to struggle through this recent global pandemic. For me as a program director, it conjures to mind my graduating family medicine residents. Due to COVID-19, they had to pull extra shifts in the hospital, flip patients in the ICU, and witnessed death on an unprecedented scale. Despite this adversity, they continue to grow professionally, thrive individually, and show the world their sunny smiling faces.

Ambivalence At 10 000 Feet, 2023 Albany Medical College
Ambivalence At 10 000 Feet, Marc Perlman
HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine
The transition from medical neophyte to seasoned physician is a gradual process spanning the course of many years. However, there are various milestones throughout the experience that capture increases in decision-making capacity and responsibility, such as the switch from pre-clinical to clinical medical education. Medical students in their clinical years are endowed with an abundance of knowledge from their pre-clinical years and are just beginning to synthesize and apply that information to patient care. “Ambivalence at 10 000 Feet” captures a reflection of a third-year medical student on the theoretical decision to provide emergency medical care in the absence of …

Blindness And The Beast: Disability, Fairy Tale And Myth In Wilkie Collins’ Poor Miss Finch, 2023 University of Debrecen, Hungary
Blindness And The Beast: Disability, Fairy Tale And Myth In Wilkie Collins’ Poor Miss Finch, György Kiss
Journal of Gender, Ethnic, and Cross-Cultural Studies
The paper offers a close reading of Wilkie Collins’ 1872 novel, Poor Miss Finch through the lens of fairy tales, gender, and disability studies. In Poor Miss Finch, we follow the life of a young blind woman, Lucilla Finch, who falls in love with a man named Oscar Dubourg, whose appearance can be described as “monstrous”. This plot evokes the popular tale of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, which the paper argues is the inspiration of Poor Miss Finch. In his work, Collins incorporates and rethinks many elements of the fairy tale to fit them into the 19th …
