Dr. JB Talks Life As an Emergency Medicine Physician, How Covid Has Intensified It, & How She is Leading the Way In Helping Medical Professionals Care for Themselves

Today we have a wonderful and informative conversation with Dr. JB, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. As a frontline worker, she has collaborated with a wide variety of dedicated healthcare professionals daily and has borne witness to some of the most heartwarming and heart-breaking experiences in life.  In the emergency department, she works to be your advocate and has created a YouTube channel to help families navigate the emergency room experience. Dr. JB is also a mental wellness advocate who works to tackle the stigma associated with mental wellness in healthcare professionals that prevents them from seeking and receiving the care that they need. This led her to create “Hope4Med with Dr. JB” a podcast created to shift the paradigm in medicine and to make addressing the mental wellness needs of healthcare workers a core value. On this podcast Dr. JB delves deep into sensitive topics that are not often addressed such as burnout, the second victim syndrome, grief and bereavement, among others. We had a wonderful conversation today about emergency medicine, mental health, and Dr. JB’s own journey.
