compassionate support
Our words need an overhaul. A church posted asking for donations of food ‘for the needy’. I thought we were all one family and welcoming all to the table of nourishment. Why not ask seeking nourishment support for our families and friends at this time.
Dr. Jeanette welcomes Dr. Michael F. Myers, M.D., the “Doctors’ Doctor” to discuss Physician Suicide and Physician Health. Dr. Myers, author of Why Physicians Die by Suicide: Lessons Learned From Their Families and Others Who Cared, is a psychiatrist and specialist in physician mental health and supports his clients through professional and personal struggles.

What has changed in our lives? Are we going through the motions until the gate opens and we get back to whatever we were doing before the virus showed up?
