In this episode on integrative surgery, Dr. Bojana Jankovic Weatherly speaks to Dr. Elizabeth Raskin, colorectal surgeon and Surgical Director of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at Hoag Hospital. They discuss the trauma of surgery, integrative patient care both in the surgical setting and more broadly, and how integrative practice improves patient experience and outcomes. They also talk about the complexities of the patient-physician relationship and physician self-awareness, and their influence on outcomes and quality of care. They dive into the culture of medicine and how aspects of it can lead to shame, burnout and mental health conditions for providers. Both doctors share how engaging in inner work to better understand ourselves and our coping habits, and actively working on our own evolution, provides ways for us to grow personally and professionally and engage in our lives with more intention. #integrativemedicine #surgerysuccess #surgeryrecovery #doctor
