Savor Every Patient Encounter Like It’s Your Last

Savor Every Patient Encounter Like It’s Your Last

We often preach about “Mindfulness” and “Living in the Moment” here on the CROC Podcast, but do we follow our own advice?

I recently noticed a trend where I would be physically sitting in a room with a patient, but my mind was elsewhere.

Sometimes I would be thinking about the next patient, my next task, or perhaps something unrelated to my job. That realization did not sit well with me so this podcast is directed explicitly toward how important it is to appreciate and cherish and savor every opportunity I get to take care of someone who has gifted me the greatest gift: the gift of trusting me with their life, which deserves 100 percent of my attention and focus.
