You know, confidence just doesn't come overnight. It's it's it's something you build just like any clinical skills. And for me, the first step was kind of learning to listen without the urge to fix. When sometimes when we notice people are struggling, we kind of panic. It's it's normal to panic and quickly come up with a solution.
Dr Kumail Jaffry:Oh, gosh. What should I say? What if I make it worse? But I think in most cases, what people actually want is is isn't a solution. It's just to feel heard and to be listened to.
Dr Kumail Jaffry:So I've learned this throughout my medical journey. Medicine teaches you a lot when we live a lot. But I think, we we do have, different phrases, that we have got in our back pocket. I use simple phrases to my medical students or junior medical staff. You know?
Dr Kumail Jaffry:How are you doing? You know? So it's okay if you don't wanna talk about it, but I'm here. You know? You don't need perfect words.
Dr Kumail Jaffry:Just just be real.
