We Are Reading Poetry…and We Talk
Sharon is a board certified plastic surgeon and creator of FaceBook Female Entrepreneurs Group in which she connects with like-minded physicians who branch out of medicine to do more. The ''more'' is many things: business, self-expression, private office or creative endeavors. We talk about that in this 8 minute interview. The poem she reads is by William Bennett and taken right from children book.
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.
We Are Reading Poetry with Dr. Izabela Malinowska.
We Are Reading Poetry series is a collage of meetings with healthcare workers (HCW) and those who support them. This series is to bring awareness to tremendous toll of burnout on front line workers and to combat despair, isolation and one sided monologue who a HCW should or should not be. Wellbeing of HCW is an issue that we can and should cultivate as a community.

Supplements to boost your immunity?
What I do is eat plenty of fresh fruit (vitamins C)and vegetables that have easily absorbable vitamins and minerals if you introduce that as part of your meal planning strategy. In cold and scratchy throat season I use herbal teas with turmeric and ginger, both anti-inflammatory. I make my own teas from these spices. While I do use supplements in my diet, mostly vitamins D with Calcium, as I do not consume enough of milk and dairy to have proper amount to augment and maintain my bone and muscle cells, I do try as best as I can to get most of my vitamins and minerals from food sources, that is why we always have greek yogurt in the fridge.
