On today’s podcast, we talk with Jane Thomas , Naomi Saks , and Ishwaria Subbiah about the concepts of wellness, well-being, resilience, and burnout, as well as what can be done to truly improve the lives of healthcare providers and bring, I dare say it, joy into our work. I mean, in other work, hard work environments as well.

The last time this happened to me I immediately went on the defensive despite years of training in serious illness communication skills. Dani and Kery present three steps for interacting with an angry patient: Look within: What is this anger bringing up in me? Not my normal clinical practice. How did you react?

Summary Transcript Summary Our guests today present an important rejoinder to the argument that we should refocus away from advance care planning (ACP).

And the two were sort of intermeshed even to the point in the eighties, the thought was all dementia is Alzheimer’s or it’s some medical illness or combination of other stuff that’s not about it. That’s in my view as analogous as to any other illness. You need the plaques to have that illness.
