Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 196

In this very personal episode, Dr. Shaw shares her recent experience of having her adult son hospitalized with an serious condition and what her learning lessons were from that adventure.... and the lesson is that it's all about how you show up.   She discusses some of the ups and downs of advocating for her son Joshua in the hospital and how encountering different personalities among the doctors and nurses re-taught her that flexibility is often the key.   Sometimes you have to be assertive, sometimes you have to make peace, but all the time one needs to keep in mind that you are not likely to change the other person by your behavior.   All one can do is be themselves with honesty and integrity and that gets you through the negative as well as the positive.
