Treat different people differently

One size does not fit all.

There are different types of patients, as well as different types of Medics.

The drug-overdose case isn’t the chronic hypertension case, which isn’t the g3p2 who’s suddenly gone into labour at 26weeks case.

In fact, they’re not cases at all.

They’re different types of people with different ways of viewing the world.

A failure to acknowledge and match for their uniqueness would be as negligent as randomly grabbing the nearest blood pack for the next transfusion…simply because it’s red.

The same is true of Medics.

Each one has a unique set of motivations, aspirations, financial obligations, lifetime value and compatibility with different work settings.

Similar to Hollywood actors and actresses, this uniqueness should be reflected in the way each Medic is handled, the contracts they sign, the shifts they are allowed to work, the way they get paid and the level of emotional support they receive.

No, this approach isn’t compatible with the status quo, even though it is easier to implement with the technology and awareness we have access to.

But if the current healthcare shortages are the result of insisting on treating people the same, maybe it’s time we try treating different people differently.
