- You’ve done so much work in burnout and compassion in the last few years. What lead you to become interested in this area? 1:56
- How do you combat and overcome bullying and isolation? Is it all just kindness? How can our mindset make a difference mentally and in connection to our heart? 3:46
- As a cardiologist, you know that cardiac disease in physically healthy people could be a manifestation of mental stress and anxiety converting into physical disease. Can you tell us more about that? 6:34
- Eighty to ninety percent of heart disease can potentially be prevented by addressing stress. When we go through medical school, we talk about cardiac risk factors. But how much do we focus in medical school on this impact of stress converting into physical disease? Do we need to change our curriculum to focus more on mental health becoming physical health issues? 10:08
- When addressing trauma, how can physicians change their behavior? And do you subscribe to Viktor Frankl’s philosophy on the space between an event and reaction to an event? 13:13
