Merry Christmas though it is a Mess

As the festive bells chime and the yuletide spirit wraps around us, I'm Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, your guide through the world of medicine with a holiday twist. Imagine the joyous chaos of Christmas, the laughter amidst low-grade fevers, and the heartfelt togetherness that overshadows the shiniest of gifts. That's the essence of this special episode, where I reflect on the year's milestones, the lessons dressed as challenges, and the unwavering passion for our profession that keeps us all going. It's about embracing the spirit of the season and finding joy in the unexpected – like the impromptu dance parties when the fever subsides and the tranquility in the aftermath of the day's excitement.

Let's embark on a heartfelt challenge together, one that doesn't involve wrapping paper or ribbons. I urge you to select just one facet of life to enhance, bringing you closer to the existence you long for. As we navigate a medical system that's far from perfect, we hold tight to our mission to heal and help, not for profit but for people. So, as the New Year approaches, let's gift ourselves the commitment to personal growth and to awakening each day with the same anticipation of a child on Christmas morning. Let's carry this merry momentum into the new chapter, creating a reality that's not only better for our patients but more fulfilling for ourselves. Wishing you a season full of warmth and an inspired beginning to what lies ahead.

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
