Dr. Mel Thacker says find compassion in everything you do!

On this week's episode I have the privilege of chatting with Dr. Mel Thacker, an ear, nose, and throat surgeon, TED speaker, and founder and Master Coach at The Surgeon Coach. She is also one of the leading voices for reform in the field of surgery and medicine in general. We discuss how a childhood surgery set her on a path to the profession. We also delve into her experiences with the systemic challenges and pressures facing the surgeons and the profession. This was one of my favorite episodes as the topics are not only relevant to surgery but to system reform at large.
