My OpEd on MedPage Today is live. In it, I discuss the benefits of compassion in medicine-for both physicians and patients. I'd love to know your thoughts. Thanks so much to Genevieve Friedman. read it at: rb.gy/9mh3q #compassioninmedicine

This quote from my book reminds us that the true essence of healthcare lies in the connections we forge with our patients. It's an honor to be part of their journey. Let's cherish these meaningful connections. #MedicineAndEmpathy #bookquote #physicianfulfillment

I remember when I almost let futility control my perspective as I listened to a patient's story. Then, after reconnecting to my intention and grounding in my breath, I listened with compassion and empathy. That impacted my ability to care for my patient. #empathyandconnection

It often seems that individualism is encouraged in medical practice. However, community plays a crucial part in our ability to thrive in our careers, as well as our personal lives. Do you face challenges when trying to be in community with others?#communityforphysicians

Did you have a chance to read my OpEd about compassion on Medpage? Here’s a snippet that you might find useful. I talk about compassion throughout my book because it’s an important part of our mental wellbeing. #physicianresources #compassioninmedicine

We often see renewable resources mentioned in environmental discussions. However, resources such as compassion and empathy are just as important in our inner environments. How do you maintain and renew your inner resources, especially when faced with challenges? #avoidingburnout

It seems like such a simple question, but when you read it, did you have an answer ready? Is it a question you’re used to being asked or one you often ask with intention? We physicians offer care to our patients, but how often do we ask for care? #physicianmentalhealth

How often are you able to honestly and intentionally discuss the things you experience in medical practice? How often are you able to hold space for others in similar discussions? Spaces that foster these conversations are so necessary. #physicianselfcare #physicianwellbeing⁠

The first step to our wellbeing is radical self-honesty.  When futility or cynicism arises, we look deeply to recognize the underlying causes and conditions without judgement. #avoidingburnout #physicianburnout #physicianselfcare #selfcaretips

#TBT to the day I was inspired to start writing Inner Practice of Medicine. It was September 2020. I was reading the news about the pandemic, practicing in the mountains & talking to physicians all over the country to debrief their experience. #physicianwellness avoidingteacherburnout

It often feels like we have to choose between patients' wellbeing and that of ourselves. However there are ways to care for patients while also thriving. My work focuses on helping physicians do exactly that. #preventingburnout #physicianmentalhealth
