Talking Compassion with Dr. Fred Dennis

Join “Patient Lee” Tomlinson as he interviews his friend Dr. Fred Dennis about his experience working as an emergency room physician in Los Angeles for over 30 years. Dr. Dennis explains his initial detachment from patients over time, which led him to burnout. However, by learning to connect with patients by asking about their underlying concerns, not just their symptoms. Dr. Dennis was able to provide compassionate care to his patients, which in-turn helped reverse Dr. Dennis' own burnout by making his work more meaningful.
