IT TAKES A VILLAGE
As a practicing emergency physician and two time cancer survivor, my frustrations and triumphs on both sides of the stethoscope have led me to transform my medical practice and my life with just one word, care. I am passionate about sharing what I have learned in my life-laboratory at the patient’s bedside over the past thirty years. I emphatically believe that caring should and does always feel good when done correctly.
On this website, and throughout my works, I share my fundamental understanding of what care really is. I love to share what it takes to generate this intangible substance of true care which, when properly understood and applied, allows all of us to instantly to feel better and create satisfaction on both sides of the stethoscope.
I am very familiar with being on both sides of the stethoscope, as a receiver or a giver of care. Through my experience, it has become blatantly clear to me that all each of us has ever really wanted when we chose these careers was to care and be cared for. Through my work, I will show you exactly what I have discovered is required to do exactly that.

Care 101
Care 101 clearly details the manufacture and delivery of the one product that makes the healthcare industry unique compared to all other businesses: True Care
This process of mindfully generating and delivering True Care will cause your patient to feel better and will cause you to feel better too. The reason you will both feel better is because when you affect True Care, you become the cause of a change in a specific blend of neurochemical transmitters found in both your brains. This change is primarily in the pre-frontal cortex and this new mix of neurotransmitters causes the wholesome feel good areas of your brain to light up and drip dopamine as well as other feel good neurotransmitters. Through True Care, you will be the creator of real and lasting satisfaction on both sides of your stethoscope. It was Deepak Chopra who said, “To think is to practice brain chemistry!” I say, “To activate compassion is to create feel good brain chemistry!” True Care is good for patients, care givers, hospitals and the communities they serve. This is because it generates the penultimate patient experience which results in high levels of satisfaction for both patients and their families,real and lasting satisfaction for the healthcare worker and provides hospitals a mechanism to create high levels of employee engagement. Get your copy of Care 101 and learn how to transform your life and your care with the protocol of True Care. |
Booster Shots
“Booster shots” is a compilation, or a best of the “Shot Of Satisfaction,” which is a blog that I write to help people inject True Care directly into their nursing or medical practice as well as their every day lives and reality. In here you will also find excerpts from my other books, Care 101 and Back from Burnout. Almost everything I write centers around the concept of True Care.
While everything changed for the better for me once I discovered the power of True Care to transform my experience of life, I soon realized that many times it can be oh so very difficult to care, especially if we are suffering from the cumulative emotional effects of compassion fatigue known as professional burnout. In this book, I share real life blogs for each of the steps of R.E.F.L.E.C.T. These steps are: Remember why you came here and what you want. Earn your satisfaction, Formulate your plan and free yourself from agenda, Look to see if you are the cause of something better or the effect of another’s bad mood or situation, Evaluate your success- are you creating satisfaction?, if not, Circle Back to the beginning and apply the steps again. Finally Take Care of yourself. This manuscript is designed specifically to get you quickly to a healthy emotional place where your caring can be effective. |
