We Are Reading Poetry - a foot doc is in house.
Dr. Michael Battey has been a good colleague of mine back when he directed RWMC Podiatry Residency Program. I always enjoyed his seasoned take on things in medicine, contemplative wisdom and a cool of the surgeon. In addition he is funny in a best possible way - subdued and dry. Like well mixed martini with just one-green-olive.
We Are Reading Poetry with Dr. Ronan Kavanagh (dotMD.ie)
With gentle presence of poetry the idea is to bring awareness to wellbeing efforts for HCW and also illustrate a devastating aspect of burnout. If we can show the light to even a single person who struggles and contemplates the idea of leaving the professions it makes a difference and builds hope that together we can move the needle in the right direction.
Plantar Fasciitis
Part two of interview with podiatrist Dr. DeHaven. Today we talk about Plantar Fasciitis.
Feet health part 2.
I sat down for few minutes (six to be exact) with my colleague and podiatrist Dr. Jordan DeHaven to talk about foot arthritis, especially in big toe. We also chatted about foot-gear choices we make.
Meditation no. 3 - poetry.
Did you know that many meditation apps started including poetry in their menu? Poetry can be so many different experiences for each of us. There are poems weaved in other sections of the blog that I welcome you to explore. I reviewed a few poetry collections in Bookish section. I am always hunting for more relevant or beautiful poetry collections.
Pandemic talk with like-minded clinicians.
Listen to this 30 minutes talk that reinforced my idea that we are in it together, and if we surround ourselves with like-minded, kind individuals we will make it through tough time, perhaps even stronger, or at least more resourceful. We observe the innovation and creative thinking that has a tremendous role in our fight with deadly virus.
Meditation, episode no.1
Meditate with Doc Off Clock…but really? I explore ways to enter this side of self that provides for comfort and ease of life.
Libby Lykins, PA talks about Magnificent Metamorphosis.
I met Libby through our mutual friend Steve Lyons, the Cape Cod artist that I interviewed for these pages in spring. Libby is a woman who wears many hats - she is a practicing clinician, editor, author and transformation enthusiast who wants to reach broader audience with her Magnificent Metamorphosis Magazine, see link to blog I wrote about it 2 weeks ago. I sat down to talk to Libby about her passion in this 18 minute video, hope you enjoy.
Do you think of change, balance or transformation? Do you need minute for yourself, or perhaps you have strength to help and listen to others? Perhaps you are ready for Metamorphosis..
Follow the journey.
