A chat of sorts about myself, 911 responder and subsequent Metastatic Lung Cancer and slowly being pulled away from inpatient care. My focus has become centered on erasing the stigma of mental and emotional health in all but with a passion for the healthcare industry. If we all payed it forward, then every bit has an enormous impact to change someone else's life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thepulseofhelthcare/message

This is a podcast dedicated to the mental, emotional and social wellness of healthcare workers. On this podcast I will share my story and experiences as both a physician and a metastatic cancer patient. The state and culture of wellness in healthcare professionals has been a topic of much research, debate and interest.  It remains a fluid issue that deserves a solution. As we continue efforts and work in this arena, it is my hope that The Pulse of Healthcare will connect and inspire us toward continued advocacy and awareness for our wellbeing.  These are unprecedented times, many of us are facing our first pandemic. As many of us are working longer hours providing care on the frontline of COVID 19 with efforts to keep our communities safe. I'm here with you to hopefully help you carry on with this important calling as healer; with courage, compassion, strength, dedication and love for humanity. You continue to work hard as you face the same anxieties of what is happening to our world. You are all heroes! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thepulseofhelthcare/message

This is a podcast dedicated to the mental, emotional and social wellness of healthcare workers. As both a physician and metastatic stage 4 lung cancer patient, I have come to understand what burnout really entails. It's the end, we must focus our efforts on the beginning. Our profession teaches us that tolerating burnout is part of the job. It makes us stronger and “better” It is my hope that The Pulse of Healthcare will connect and inspire us towards continued advocacy and awareness for our wellbeing . These are unprecedented times, many of us are facing our first pandemic, working longer hours providing care on the frontlines during COVID 19. Until recently, I too was frontline alongside my colleagues; I understand and relate to the anxiety and fears with so many unknowns in our world right now. In addition to keeping patients safe you are faced with fears and anxieties about your own health, the health of your family member and loved ones in addition to job security, and financial impacts. It feels like a loss of control. Follow me on your favourite platform as I focus on a holistic approach to wellbeing of healthcare workers and together we will keep each other well. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thepulseofhelthcare/message
