100 The Art of Medicine: The Gift We Have To Offer with Dr. Robert Saul
https://302.buzz/PM-WhatAreYourThoughts
Welcome back to Pediatric Meltdown Today we are on our 100th Episode, once again we have Dr. Robert Saul, Dr. Saul is a pediatrician and medical geneticist, and has been guiding parents and their children’s physical, and behavioral, and mental care for over 40 years. He is a Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus). Dr. Bob Saul developed the Parental Awareness Threshold, a simple framework that guides parents and guardians to actively parent with self-awareness, empathy, and compassion. Parents who use this framework create a healthy environment where children learn to build safe, stable, and nurturing relationships as well as exhibit love and respect for others in their community.
In the medical world of high-tech imaging and laboratory testing, the true practice of taking a comprehensive medical history and the laying on of hands gets forgotten or brushed aside relegating physicians and advanced practitioners to the role of technicians. We must never underestimate the skills of listening and the power of shared humanity. After four decades of pediatric practice, Dr. Robert Saul shares his wisdom and his insights about practicing the art of medicine.

Tweetable Quotes
“When I started in medical practice, people would come to me and they came to you and say, tell me what I should do here, Doc, how do I do this? And so my first instinct. Was to tell them what to do. Well, it's taken me four decades, but I finally realized that my job is not to tell them my job is to help them, to empower them, enable them. And that only comes with a long-term trusting relationship.” - Dr. Robert Saul
“Some people say it's a spiritual thing. Some people will say it's something else or it's personal. I think it helps define what we need to be doing as a society to make a difference going forward. And so for me, it's a logical extension of the work I've been doing in terms of promoting citizenship, promoting community improvement, promoting parenting.” - Dr. Robert Saul
