Author of “How Do You Feel?: One Doctor’s Search f or Healthcare in Humanity”
In Conversation with Mat ifadza Hlatshwayo Davis\, Director of Health - City of St. Louis Department of Health
As an assistant professor\, practicing psychiatrist\, and dedicated friend and family member\, Dr. Jessi Gold was used to being constantly busy. But when Jessi is so mentally overwhelmed th at she commits an unthinkable error during a patient session\, she’s forced to reevaluate everything that the medical system has taught her. As she co nsiders burnout\, perfectionism\, empathy\, and the emotional burden of wor king in health care\, Jessi recognizes that she is not alone in struggling to maintain her humanity\, in a field that she chose because of its humanit y in the first place. At once deeply personal\, but also utterly universal\ , “How Do You Feel?” demonstrates the unbridled capacity that we a s humans have for connecting\, learning\, and growing.
