John's Story: Ditching the blame

Why are healthcare workers so harsh with each other? Why do we expect perfection in our performance when we know it's not possible? Dr. John Hamilton does some "real talk" about the current culture in medicine that leaves all of us working in fear – and challenges his team to shift away from the knee-jerk reaction of blame to a newer model of group ownership.

Show Notes

Dr. Hamilton is an emergency medicine physician in Texas who shared his story at a local Real Talk session in 2020.
