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.

I talked about lack of prestige and respect, and I talked about how healthcare system leaders and medical school deans don’t always seem to value the field of geriatrics. But then I realized who I wasn’t hearing from, I did not hear from the CEO of my organization, my healthcare organization.

So when we encounter anger clinically, when we’re in an encounter with a patient and their family, what are perhaps three steps, and we have the three step model for how we can look within ourselves and respond.
