Pet Therapy: Calvin & Hobbes Humor to Lighten Your Week

Have a wonderful week!

"It's like chicken soup for the physician's soul!" (K. Barton, MD)

I wrote Recapturing Joy in Medicine to inspire my colleagues on a journey toward deeper professional fulfillment, personal wellness, and greater MEANING and JOY. The 2nd edition adds stories and strategies with fresh insights for reflection and the same relatable style. This interactive, heartwarming coaching manual is a practical and uplifting companion to a physician's practice. Check it out, tell your friends, and share a copy with your physician. We all need the encouragement! Learn more on my website.

Quotes from My Books

"The view that physicians merely need to 'toughen up' even more as the solution to burnout is not only misleading and incomplete but also potentially harmful." (Recapturing Joy in Medicine, p.5)

"Our healthcare crisis is fertile soil for the transformation we desperately need." (Recapturing Joy in Medicine)

"A lack of boundaries relinquishes control and erodes our ability to lead effectively." (Recapturing Joy in Medicine, p.95)

"A paradigm shift has changed my practice.... I am not at work to fulfill my agenda but to focus on people's needs & what God is doing in their lives. As I focus on God & His plan for the day, I discern His voice better. I am easier to guide & teach. I have more patience, compassion, & love. And I have more joy." (Walking with Jesus in Healthcare, p.119)

And this is my favorite blog post I've written: Lessons I Learned Watching Mom
