This episode is part 2 of the interview with the Dr Pauline Morris, consultant anaesthetist in Qatar, and founder of the organisation Doctors Caring for Doctors, a coaching and guidance service for medics who have perhaps become unstuck, and need a guiding light to show them the path ahead. In a current climate whereby everyone seems to be interested in digging their escape tunnel from medicine, Pauline is focused on the challenge of preventable burnout and helping to plug the metaphorical sinkhole, preventing the best in the profession swirl down the u-bend and escape the profession forever never to be seen again. This episode contains valuable information on how NOT to leave medicine. During this second part we discuss the gift of kindness to each other, tempering expectations of ourselves, and good simply being good enough. We touch on humanistics in healthcare, if thats even a word, and Pauline leads us through growth versus fixed mindsets, thoughts on how to accept help from others and the Attack of the Clones-style cookie-cutter doctors.Please enjoy this very rewarding conclusion to my discussion with Dr Pauline Morris.
