Gary Winzelberg, Associate Professor of Geriatric Medicine & Associate Director of UNC’s Palliative Care Program on “Serendipity” in the ICU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seven storytellers presented during the first UNC Story Slam on October 10, 2018, held during the Fifth Annual Sheldon Resident Research Symposium. There were no Power Point presentations and no written speeches, just the doctors and their memories.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is rare to find yourself involved in something bigger, working with a higher power,\u201d said Gary Winzelberg, MD, MPH, Associate Professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Associate Director of UNC’s Palliative Care Program, as his story began. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t happen to me often. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here to tell a story about a patient interaction, one that I\u2019ll truly never forget. It was about a time on a Saturday when I was on call, and to my complete surprise, I saw a former patient while completing a consult in the ICU.\u201d<\/p>\n

As “Serendipity” unfolded, listeners learned about Winzelberg’s opportunity to guide this patient\u2019s care, who could not communicate and was minutes from intubation. By remembering and accessing documentation of her advanced care preferences completed years prior, he supported her distraught family in honoring the patient\u2019s values, resulting in a transition from intubation to comfort care. The experience was an indelible reminder of the privilege of doctoring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin an audience there\u2019s a gift given by the speaker, as they hear a story and gift into their mind and soul,” said keynote speaker Richard Wardrop III, MD, associate professor of internal medicine and pediatrics. “Then, as storytellers we also receive a gift from the audience, that gives us a venue for these experiences. That mutual exchange is a really important one and something we don\u2019t get a chance to do very often as professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Amy Shaheen\u2019s \u201cCalling Doctor Husband\u201d entertained, recalling a date with husband Nick Shaheen, MD, chief of gastroenterology, that went very wrong. Their evening ended abruptly when Amy needed urgent medical care by the doctor on call, who just happened to be her own husband. Amy narrated the humorous interactions with staff and explained how, despite the ethical conundrums, she eventually came to see and receive the treatment she needed.<\/p>\n

Narratives and Participants included:<\/span><\/p>\n
