The Interview: Gary Simonds ~ The Miracle of Conversations in Hospital Waiting Rooms
Season 16, Episode 160, Feb 21, 09:54 PM
Hello babes!
This mid-week miracle is brought to you courtesy of neurosurgeon Gary Simonds! As someone who worked in the field of trauma, in the emergency rooms on the brains and spines of those who had been in catastrophic car crashes or suffered gun violence, Gary has much to share on what is most important in those spaces. This episode he talks about the families in the waiting rooms and how sacred each conversation with them is. Despite having the worst day of their lives and whether Gary delivered good news or bad, the families were there each and every time, awaiting news of their loved one.
Gary is an author, a speaker and did I mention a brain surgeon? This conversation ranges-and we talk ancestors, being present to those suffering, how Gary found his calling and how he managed the stress of operating on people who were at death's door. He talks about burnout and how nurses are the ones who are the true powerhouses in our hospitals...and how hospitals don't give them the respect they deserve. We cover much in this episode and I hope you enjoy it!
