Gratitude is a powerful force that can guide us through life's toughest challenges. In this episode, we explore the profound impact of gratitude and sacred space within the patient-physician relationship.
Dr. Christina Gomez is a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Phoenix, Arizona, and the author of the book called "Stopped in My Tracks: A Physician's Collection of Cancer Patient Quotes." Dr. Gomez shares poignant examples from her oncology practice, where patients and their families express deep gratitude for her presence and support during challenging times. She recounts instances where patients thanked her not just for medical treatment but for walking with them through their journey, acknowledging the holistic healing that goes beyond physical care.
As healthcare providers, it is essential to cultivate a sense of gratitude for the privilege of caring for patients and being a part of their healing journey. By acknowledging and appreciating the gratitude expressed by patients, doctors can find renewed inspiration and motivation to continue their important work.
“These patients before us, every decision we make is life-changing and their gratitude is fuel, is this propeller, is like pixie dust.” - Christina Gomez MD
