Introduction by Beate Brem, University of Bern
In addition to their primary role of portraying patients, SPs frequently have to observe and memorize students' behavior in order to provide detailed feedback to learners. This is a challenging task. The cognitive load is very high; sometimes perhaps too high. Cognitive overload causes mistakes in the observation or recall of key behaviors of the students, thereby compromising the quality of the session. Thus, it is important to understand factors that contribute to the cognitive load.

In this article, Dr. Travis Bradberry, co-author of "Emotional Intelligence 2.0" and co-founder of TalentSmart, engages us in a number of ways to recognize burnout while providing helpful tips for combatting it.

In hospitals, summer is the season when newly minted medical school graduates start their first year of residency, taking on patient care with little hands-on experience. For patients, that means a visit from a doctor who might look young and untested. To make sure residents ask for help from a senior doctor, more hospitals are developing formal "escalation-of-care" policies with clear guidelines on when it's time to call one.

Patients who are first-time users of pain-killing opioids should be prescribed a small dose without refills to reduce the risk of long-term use and possible addiction, a new study suggests. A surge in prescriptions for opioids such as Oxycontin and Vicodin over the past two decades dovetails with a steep rise in addiction and overdoses in the United States.

Sometimes, as unfortunate as it may be, physicians are forced to deliver bad news to their patients. Often, however, the way that news is delivered can have a powerful impact on the way it is received. Both verbal and nonverbal communication skills are important. When conveying concrete information — the nature of a patient's condition, the steps to be taken to treat the condition, etc. — verbal messages have been found to be more effective.

It's reasonable to expect a doctor to be kind at every visit. Kindness may be less important to us when the visit is urgent, when we are in terrible pain and barely listening as we wait for relief, when the problem is diagnosed and fixed quickly. But generally, most of us assume that it matters. Today, medical schools teach and evaluate kindness at patients' bedsides and through role-playing.

We all want to be part of a great success story. To run, start or play a senior role in a company that wins big or changes the course of its industry. To launch a brand that dazzles customers and dominates its markets. To be the kind of executive or entrepreneur who creates jobs, generates wealth and builds an organization bursting with energy and creativity.

When people's hearts stop beating, they lose consciousness in seconds. If standing, they fall. If sitting, they slump over. Their bodies jerk, and reflexively, they gasp. Those breaths are deceptive. They can trick physicians and nurses into thinking a hospital patient is experiencing a seizure, not cardiac arrest. And that misinterpretation can delay a shot at resuscitation.

Many elderly patients mentally or physically in the hospital, even if they recover from the original illness or injury that brought them there. About one-third of patients over 70 years old and more than half of patients over 85 leave the hospital more disabled than when they arrived, research shows. As a result, many seniors are unable to care for themselves after discharge.
