Inside the Mind of a Physician

Are physicians a mystery? To many of us, yes. Physicians perform one of the most valuable personal services in the world. They care for our bodies in the most intimate of ways. We place our lives in their hands and trust they have our best interest at heart. But how much do we really know of physicians and their inner world? Relatively little. The environment for practicing medicine has changed dramatically over the past few decades. The commoditizing of physicians and their work frequently causes a dehumanization of the doctor and the doctor/patient relationship not to mention the connections between physicians and other staff. Due to the training, practice culture, constraints, liabilities, and pressures placed on physicians today, they often cannot practice the kind of personalized, relationship-enhancing medicine that would benefit both patient and caregiver. In this monograph, Dr. Herdley Paolini does a great service by opening the inner world of physicians and helping us understand them, how to relate to them, and how to best support them in the critical role in healthcare. Her insights will be of great value to everyone from hospital administrators and clinical staff, to insurance providers, government agencies, and anyone who interacts with physicians.

Music, Medicine, and Miracles

In Music, Medicine and Miracles, Amy Robertson takes readers on a journey into the world of pediatric music therapy. With an outstanding mixture of clinical vignettes, scientific information and practical administrative experiences, she presents a compelling case for creating music therapy programs for infants and children across the country and around the world. Any hospital especially any children s hospital can benefit from her insights for enhancing their services. In the last ten years, research has shown that premature infants are able to leave the hospital significantly sooner with music therapy. In some cases, children undergoing procedures like echocardiograms and CT scans are using music therapy instead of sedation. But despite these desirable applications and outcomes music therapy is not as widely accepted and used as it could be. In a world where healthcare costs continue rising and budgets continue falling, it is becoming harder to implement programs that focus on holistic approaches to healing such as medical music therapy. Ms. Robertson has taken her experience of starting a music therapy program from scratch at the largest admitting hospital in America and provided step-by-step instructions on how others can do the same. Her insights on implementing a cost-effective music therapy program at AdventHealth for Children will prove invaluable to music therapists, hospital administrators, physician leaders and clinical staff at any healthcare facility. She demonstrates that in addition to the health and healing benefits music therapy provides it can also bring cost-savings and reimbursement to hospitals. Ms. Robertson became the first in the country to successfully receive reimbursement for inpatient services in the NICU. In this monograph, she not only explains how she accomplished this, but how others can as well. Her contributions have broken some boundaries for music therapy and created new opportunities for therapists to continue healing the mind,
