Why is it that our doctors have become so broken? “Physician heal thyself,” or so they say. But it seems we’ve lost the art of caring for ourselves as a profession. It saddens me deeply. Yesterday, Aviva Romm, a skilled midwife/herbalist/author/artist-turned-Yale medical student called me to process the decisions that lie ahead of her.
I’m feeling a little unrooted these days. I’ve been exploring these feelings, the ones that tells me I want to go back to work. But I’m plagued with doubts. Is there room in this world for the kind of doctor I want to be?
