Dailure-Fine Art of Healthcare
We had our third and final (for this year) Fine Art of Healthcare workshop and I must say that the students who attended all three seemed to really feel the experience was valuable. The docents and I agreed that there was a noticeable difference between the first and third workshop; the students were much more engaged, they had processed the three VTS questions, which made a big difference in their facilitation skills and thus made a difference in how the discussion went. The comments were longer, more detailed and students seemed to really listen to one another and even build upon each others ideas. I'd say that is huge considering they'd only participated a maximum of three sessions. Just think what they could do in 8-10 sessions!

Keep up the momentum, Hope. With all the time you've been spending in the hospital and with docs, you are getting a first hand look at how important your workshops are.
Betsy, although it's not a choice,I think as you so generously have done, trying to help others learn a bit of empathy is key.
Joe and I talked about our experience over the last several years... and as horrible as it often was, we knew that we both learned a lot. We decided that one good thing to come of it was that I would be able to offer support to friends when they found themselves in similar situations. It's a classic
"make lemonade out of lemons" kind of thing, huh?
I wish there were other ways to learn such tough tough lessons.
You must be so proud of what you've accomplished!
Perhaps you can get Jordi's surgeon to attend one of your workshops?!
