Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Episode #2: Tackling Healthcare Demands with Dr. Nina Mafrici
Join me and Dr. Nina Mafrici, a well-known Clinical Psychologist and Co-Founder of Toronto Psychology & Wellness Group (TPWG), as we take a dive into how behaviours have changed post-pandemic and are at their worst now. Let’s uncover why patients and doctors are frustrated, angry, and feel entitled. Is this affecting our healthcare system, our mental health, and our wellness? As an Optometrist, it’s definitely affecting my workplace culture, patient care, and - most of all - my work-life balance. Let’s figure this out and be “real.” This episode covers everything from mental health to culture. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- Why are there increasing demands on healthcare providers?
- How should healthcare professionals navigate more anxiety at work?
- Why have patients become more entitled?
- How do you set boundaries with patients?
- When is it time to seek help?
- What is the biggest barrier to seeking help?
- How do you know what type of specialist to reach out to?
- What’s the best way to achieve work-life balance?
