Episode #40: "What is a 'good' doctor?" with Dr. Manjit Obhrai and Dr. Yashika Dooley

And who defines that?! Dr. Yashika Dooley, urogynecologist and life coach, and Dr. Manjit Obhrai, gynecologist and experienced clinical leader specializing in supporting physicians, tackle this question, along with a discussion on the influence of TV doctors, and the need to support neurodivergent doctors.Yashika shares, "It wasn't that I was doing it wrong. I was having completely normal feelings. They're just things we're not taught, and we don't talk about..." "And so even though you're surrounded by people all day, you can still easily feel alone."Manjit emphasizes the role of kindness in healthcare, "Kindness, compassion for your colleagues is massively important! We have to make sure that all members of the team are looked after...We're compassionate to our patients, yet we're not compassionate to ourselves, to our colleagues sometimes."We touch on living your values, the critical nature of setting boundaries, and learning to say "no." Manjit and Yashika agree that transition discomfort is normal, and add wise advice, "Don't compare yourself!"
