How an eye for detail can save lives

<p>In this episode, we talk to Claire Unis. She reflects on her experiences as a pediatrician and how small moments of contentment and satisfaction, like seeing a healthy baby or a budding tree, led her to realize the importance of an aesthetic appreciation in her practice. She shares the story of a newborn patient whose appearance led her to suspect a serious condition and how her medical training and experience allows her to recognize when something is awry just by looking at a patient. As trained scientists, physicians also have a trained aesthetic appreciation and the ability to recognize when something is wrong.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-doctor/dr-claire-unis" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow external" data-wpel-link="external">Claire Unis</a> is a pediatrician and author of <a href="https://amzn.to/3PDoFY9" target= "_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external">Balance, Pedal, Breathe: A Journey Through Medical School</a>.</p> <p>She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "<a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/2022/12/aesthetics-and-the-physicians-eye.html">Aesthetics and the physician’s eye</a>."</p> <p><a href="https://nuance.com/daxinaction"><img class= "alignnone wp-image-424286 size-medium" src= "https://www.kevinmd.com/wp-content/uploads/NuanceLogo_Horz_k-2-300x62.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="62" /></a></p> <p><em>The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the <a href= "https://nuance.com/daxinaction">Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience</a>.</em></p> <p><em>With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout.
