Think about those physicians who seem to always have control of a room

where it's hitting the fan around them and they just seem composed, calm.

They have equanimity, composure in the midst of chaos.

I want to tell you about this game-changing exercise, this mental framework that I learned as a pediatric resident in the ICU.

It makes you so much better as a clinician and it makes things so much better for your patient.

If we haven't met, my name is Paul Tran.

I'm a pediatric gastroenterologist.

I'm a faculty at two medical schools.

I travel around the country to empower my future colleagues.

I want to share all of these cool things that I've picked up along the way.

So this tool is called situational awareness and it's really organized catastrophizing.

It is rewarding your anxiety.

And the exercise, if we're talking about an inpatient setting, is you look at your list.

If you have a patient list of 10, 20 patients on the team, as a medical student, you might be assigned one, two, three patients.

As a resident, you might be assigned half the list.

but generally you start out choose a patient one of your patients

and you think what is the worst thing

that could happen to this patient tonight when I'm not here

or when I'm alone if I'm cross covering overnight

and three steps of this framework the first just what could

happen what could happen tonight the second how would I know

how would I be notified what would need to happen what What would a patient or a family member tell me?

What would a nurse communicate to me?

And then the third thing, how would I react?

What would I do?

Then you can actually flip the framework and you, instead of saying what's the worst thing that could happen to my patient and go down the list,

you could take your list and choose a single chief complaint.

Let's say tachycardia or rapid heart rate for patient A.

could that be from?

And then what are the tests that help me differentiate between these things?

And then you can do that for every single patient on your list.

So the example I like to use is a patient with ulcerative colitis,

inflammatory bowel disease, coming into the hospital and they have a flare.

That means they're having a maybe atypical response or resurgence of their symptoms.

In this case, abdominal pain and bloody stools.

So usually you have to tamp down inflammation.

This patient might be admitted to the hospital for IV steroids, something to turn off the stove, as I like to say.

So for that patient, you think, okay, I'm taking care of an uncomplicated patient with ulcerative colitis here for IV steroids and a flare.

What's the worst thing that could happen to this patient overnight?

And there's no wrong answer here.

you essentially are preparing for the worst.

The patients don't always present like the textbook.

And when you're seeing things for the first time, it's really hard on your brain on cognitive load, which is essentially working memory.

It's really hard to see something for the first time, think about it for the first time, and then have the pressures of maybe a chaotic moment.

People asking you what to do, What do you think expecting you to act a certain way?

So if you could prepare for that, do a dress rehearsal mentally where you might be seeing something for the first time, maybe to a patient with ulcerative colitis, but you've thought about it before.

So going back to the example, patient with ulcerative colitis, the worst thing that could happen off the top of my brain, toxic megacolon.

Okay.

Toxic megacolon is a known complication of ulcerative colitis.

number two how would I know how would I be notified well first thing

that comes to mind well abdominal pain severe abdominal pain and

when I walk through this exercise I say that's not good enough

if someone says abdominal pain I'm like that's it oh my belly's hurting is

that what a patient's gonna say my stomach is killing me

with toxic mega colon no I'm catastrophizing I'm Think of the worst.

So I might think about the pain being so intense that someone's sweating.

Someone is grimacing.

They're yelling.

They want more pain control because it hurts so bad.

They're writhing in the bed.

They don't let you examine them.

That's the picture I think of in my mind, not the words severe abdominal pain.

Because I want to be ready when I see the patient.

I don't want them to just have bad abdominal pain maybe that's from the flare.

I'm thinking about the things that I can't miss.

So intense, the most intense abdominal pain I've ever seen, not just abdominal distension, but their belly is ballooning.

It's huge.

It's doubled in size.

I want to think about the picture of the patient, not the words that describe the patient.

This is no longer an Anki or a flashcard.

This is not a board review question.

This is real life and I'm preparing for real life.

I want to be aware of the situation and situational awareness.

So a nurse might communicate with me severe abdominal pain,

reporting 10 out of 10 pain, tachycardia, hypotension, not good enough to think about that for me.

Now I'm a pediatric gastroenterologist, so I see kids.

So my vitals might be off, but let's say heart rate is 140, severe tachycardia.

Blood pressure is 70 over 40.

I'm thinking about these things like I'll see them.

How would I be notified?

Now, last part, what do I do?

What do I do?

So I might think imaging.

And when people say imaging, I say, not good enough.

You're gonna go into your EMR and type imaging.

What imaging?

Abdominal imaging.

Great, what?

X-ray.

X-ray of the abdomen.

How many views?

What orientation?

One view, two views, AP, lateral, left lateral to cubitus, upright.

So you have to be prepared.

What are you actually going to do in this situation?

For what reason?

What are you looking for?

How is it going to help the patient?

How is it going to help guide your decision making? so

100

when I walk people through this process ultimately we end up

101

with a one view KUB kidney ureter bladder view one one view AP view that's okay because we're looking for the

102

colon diameter massive colonic distension or ballooning I'm just looking for the colon being huge

103

but there's some nuances there because that might not be the best test if you're trying to rule things out.

104

It's really good if you're trying to rule in toxic megacolon, but a patient like this has multiple reasons for an abdomen like that.

105

So that's where your clinical reasoning can improve.

106

But just for the sake of situational awareness, you think toxic megacolon, the picture that you've painted of severe abdominal pain and distension,

107

maybe hypotension, maybe tachycardia, maybe altered mental status

108

and then what would you do stat abdominal imaging whether it's

109

an one of you x-ray to look at the colon

110

or a stat CT abdomen pelvis okay think about other things

111

that you might do well maybe call surgery maybe start antibiotics

112

the great thing is you can do this mental exercise every single day for your one patient,

113

if you're a medical student, for your three patients, however many patients you have, have a different situational awareness every single day.

114

So day one of that patient, maybe they stay for a week.

115

Day one is toxic megaholone.

116

Day two is spontaneous bowel perforation.

117

Day three is sepsis.

118

Day four is hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock.

119

You are just thinking in your mind and applying it to the patient.

120

you're going to be on a rocket ship for clinical development, anticipation, awareness.

121

This is a game-changing tool.

122

But it can get even better.

123

Because we sit around bored more often than we'd care to admit in training.

124

You have spurts and sprints throughout the day, but then you have moments where you are just sitting there waiting to be discharged to go home.

125

waiting for someone to pay attention to you.

126

In this case, I'm learning.

127

I can look things up.

128

I can look up toxic megacolon.

129

I can look up the management.

130

I can think about it for myself.

131

I don't need people to prompt me.

132

The cool thing about this is you continue to grow every single day, improving your clinical reasoning, your anticipation, your situational awareness.

133

You improve all of that and grow despite other people around you.

134

So if the attending is not around.

135

If the team is busy, you still learn, but here's where it gets super charged.

136

How do you engage a team?

137

Come to them, come to the resident, come to the attending with your thoughts.

138

Doesn't have to be long at all.

139

Come to them and say, Hey, I was thinking about the patient with ulcerative colitis I'm following, and think about some of the things that could happen to them, a complication like toxic megacolon.

140

I would be on the lookout for intense abdominal pain, severe pain, patient needing pain medications, hypotension or tachycardia and vital sign changes,

141

hemodynamic instability, maybe altered mental status, distension.

142

And if that were to happen, I would want a CT abdomen or a STAT1 view abdominal x-ray.

143

And I was thinking about getting maybe antibiotics and a surgery consult.

144

And then follow that up.

145

Tell them what you think.

146

And then follow that up with the magic words.

147

What would you do differently?

148

I tell people all the time, this is the best way to ask for advice because you are essentially inviting a critique.

149

You're inviting them to build upon what you've already done.

150

You're removing the cognitive load from them for having to come up with a teaching pearl for you.

151

Like, teach me about IBD, teach me about UC.

152

It's hard for them, especially someone who doesn't like teaching or someone who's really busy or distracted.

153

So here you're like, I'm thinking UC, I'm thinking a complication, I'm thinking about what to do.

154

What would you do differently?

155

I'm inviting you to critique me.

156

They might say, that's exactly what I do, nice.

157

they might say antibiotics what antibiotics what what antibiotics would you

158

choose teaching point you open up the door for a teaching point um not an opportunity to impress them

159

but let's say you've already looked it up you can be intrepid by showing them

160

that you know it's the game i don't like playing the game i just want you to be better

161

but they might say no no no no no i i would always get CT.

162

Do you know why?

163

They might ask you.

164

They may or may not, but they might be like, you know, I'm looking for a large bowel perforation

165

and CT will show me both that and the toxic megacolon or abdominal x-rays, positional films upright to see the free air below the diaphragm,

166

left lateral decubitus to see it above the liver.

167

You always get positional films or a CT, so I just default to the CT, especially I'm trying to rule out things.

168

There's also small bowel obstruction.

169

And if they don't say all of that and they say, no, I would always get a CT, say, what would make you get a CT over x-rays?

170

You're asking why, except you're not asking why.

171

Don't ask why.

172

It sounds accusatory.

173

Ask what or how or when.

174

What makes you choose this?

175

When would you choose this over that?

176

How do you decide between what imaging is best?

177

You ask them for their clinical expertise, their experience.

178

So what would you do differently?

179

And you'll see, as you continue to do this, you'll grow by yourself, but then you engage other people.

180

They'll enjoy it.

181

You're doing the work for them.

182

You are catalyzing the reaction.

183

You are lowering the activation energy for them to teach you.

184

And it's not going to work all the time, but the more you do, the more reactions can take place more opportunities for you.

185

To all my colleagues, future or current, you are seeing you matter.

186

Thank you for what you do.

187

Thank you for being you.

188

See you next time.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
