On this edition of StudioTulsa Medical Monday, an interesting and often surprising discussion with Dr. Pamela Wible, an Oregon-based physician who is the founder of the Ideal Medical Care Movement -- and who is also an expert on physician suicide in America. Indeed, Dr. Wible is an active writer, blogger, speaker, and advocate when it comes to mental health among doctors all over the nation -- from the trials and travesties of medical school to the stresses and demands of running a practice. As is noted of Dr. Wible at her website: "Pamela Wible, M.D., is a family physician born into a family of physicians. Her parents warned her not to pursue medicine. She did it anyway, but found neither doctors nor patients were happy. So she led town hall meetings where she invited her community to design an ideal clinic. Wible's pioneering model has been replicated nationwide. Her model is featured in Harvard School of Public Health's 'Renegotiating Health Care,' a textbook examining major trends with the potential to change the dynamics of health care. Dr. Wible is author of 'Pet Goats & Pap Smears,' Amazon's #1 top-rated medical e-book in 2013 (and also Amazon's #1 bestseller 'Physician Suicide Letters -- Answered')."
