Dr Mari's Health & Hope Corner - February 2012

In this month's Health & Hope Corner, Children: Our Hope for Tomorrow, I share about a nine year-old with a big heart. After a disappointing injury, he could have stayed home feeling sorry for himself. Instead, he chose to rise above it, finding ways to encourage others and learn during his recovery.

This young man's maturity, optimism, and positive attitude in facing adversity remind me of Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Visit Hope Matters for the full article.

"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
