Описание: The secret to healing from physician burnout, re-connecting with loved ones and rediscovering daily joy resides in an unlikely place: the comedy club.
In Prescription Comedy, author Dr. Pranathi Kondapaneni shares her personal journey with on-the-job burnout and how an almost accidental foray into the world of comedy proved key to her cure.
What you'll discover:
- Why so many physicians succumb to burnout and suffer a loss of faith as they toil under the weight of a medical system that doesn't value connection
- Where the true value of comedy truly lies: in cultivating a connection with the audience that extends far beyond making them laugh
- How Dr. Kondapaneni's personal quest to improve the physician-patient communication bond led her to discover and explore comedy
- Simple lessons that can help you defeat physician burnout
"In sharing my journey, I aim to help fellow physicians who feel downtrodden, disenfranchised, and disenchanted by the weight of this medical system," says Dr. Kondapaneni. "Unless one has walked in the shoes of a shattered physician, it's hard to understand the swamp which can swallow a physician whole."
This book was written for physicians, who are often seen as lucky to have a stable, well-paying career. They ultimately carry the burden of treating our most precious resource: health. Couple this responsibility with a broken healthcare system, and physicians face a hefty load indeed.
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
-Mark Twain
