Podcast 698: Empathy, Burnout, and Patient Satisfaction
Show: Emergency Medical Minute
Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Survey of EM physicians to self-report empathy and burnout levels and correlated with patient satisfaction scores
- Patient satisfaction was not affected by what the physicians thought about their level of empathy or burnout
- Patient satisfaction was affected by the patient's perception of empathetic behavior by the physician
