We'll follow his journey to Everest Base camp, founding of the CIWEC Hospital in Katmandu & physician to the Tibetan Lamas that changed the course of his life.
In this episode we'll talk about how the monks he worked with changed worldview and forever changed his practice of medicine. We'll cover the nature of suffering, the power of training in compassion, and training can alter the impact of burnout, compassion fatigue and stress injury.
