FIRST AID for Physicians

What are the ordinary yet often challenging experiences of being a doctor? I made a list and organized it under the mnemonic F.I.R.S.T. A.I.D. Interpersonal neurobiologist Dan Siegel, MD says, "Name it to tame it." In other words, to address complicated or strong feelings, merely the act of identifying them helps to work with them. In my personal search to build better resources for coming to the work of doctoring with greater grace, ease, and joy, I started by making a list of challenges that are so deeply wound into this work that they become background noise: taken for granted and invisible. Naming them is a first step towards cultivating better ways of processing them. Those strategies comprise what I started 5 years go calling Medicine's Missing Curriculum. What would you add to this list?
