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

I wrote Recapturing Joy in Medicine to inspire my colleagues to embark on a journey toward professional fulfillment, personal wellness, and greater MEANING and JOY. An unexpected journey to the "other side of healthcare" interrupted the writing process, transforming the book AND its author! The resulting unique, hands-on, 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

BORROWED WISDOM

"Pain that is not transformed is transmitted." - Richard Rohr

"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." - Mother Teresa

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
