91 - Peter Brindley - Clinical leadership, podcasting and identifying when patients are dying

My guest in this episode is Dr Peter Brindley, an intensivist in Edmonton, Canada.

Peter is a tenured full Professor of Critical Care Medicine, Anesthesiology, and Medical Ethics, with over 150 peer-reviewed manuscripts, over 30 book chapters, and over 100 other articles, including regular opinion pieces for the British Medical Journal. He has written one book and co-hosts a podcast (The Critical Care Commute). He has presented to audiences in 15 countries during appoximately 650 invited presentations, 50 plenaries and 10 named lectures. He is convinced happiness comes from finding meaning and showing gratitude. He is proudest of two feral kids, neither of whom give a hoot about his work-related achievements.

Peter was previously featured in episode 15 as well as in the Persevering Through A Pandemic series from 2021. These episodes are well worth listening to. Given he was in Australia for the Annual Scientific Meeting of the CICM, I thought I had to have him on the show again.

In this episode, Peter talks about why he's a doctor and why he stays working where he does, before touching on a variety of topics including clinical leadership, imposter syndrome, the differing skills of the people making up our teams, efficiency, understanding when patients are dying, podcasting, wellbeing and parting advice.

Thank you for listening to Dr Peter Brindley.
