Really well done Ashley – Powerful, Insightful, Inspirational. Your words touched my heart!

Thanks Sam!
Thank you Ashley for sharing through a great presentation I believe many of us ought hear more. Carry on. Fly safe.
The mantra to self, “You’ve got this,” is familiar. When I encounter another provider having a rough day and in a tough spot, simple acts of kindness can express, “I’ve got you too.”
Thank you Dr Weingart for sharing here. Muchly appreciated.
Hi Paul! Thank you for the Kind words. Lucky for the providers around you that you have such an awareness of their feelings. Good work. Best to you.
Such an incredibly powerful and humbling story, Ashley. I really needed to hear this! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Brian. I’m glad the story connected with you. Thank you for listening. Best to you.
Wonderful stuff & one of my favourite talks from last year’s SMACC. Ashley’s is a fabulous orator and her talk carries an important message. We need to look out for each other. That our compassion is not just for our patients, but for each other. Powerful & moving. Thanks for sharing, Scott.
Thank you Dean! Very kind of you to say. I’m glad the message spoke to you. Based on your comments I would bet that you are already doing a great job looking after your colleagues. Best to you.
Very insightful and inspiring. Thank you!
Thanks Brian!
Scott, thank you for posting this and Ashley thank you for your service and your presentation. As a military medic now family doc doing rural ED I’ve experienced those less than respectful handoffs as well as burnout.
I recently learned that one of my friends in medical school committed suicide due to depression and imposter syndrome.
PLEASE continue your mission, this was such an inspiration to me on the drive to work this morning !
Michael, Thank you for your service as well Sir! I am sorry to hear of your friend. A tragic loss no doubt. My hope is that each of us spend just a few moments of each day in search of kindness and then extend that to one another. Rest assured that I will maintain my passion and commitment to this subject, sharing with all who will listen. All the best to you.
excellent presentation for several reasons, including the skill of the speaker and also exceedingly important was the fact that , by discussing a topic that can make us feel , and be , vulnerable, she was actually showing her extreme strength.
it would be an gift to have her on any team.
thank you
tom
Comment Here – Speak Your Mind – Also leave your name, affiliations, and any conflicts you may have. Ashley, Great presentation. I am a former Cdn Forces Flt Surgeon and currently work in a small rural ED near Toronto. While I have not seen as much trauma as you undoubtedly have, I know it can have the same impact on me and my colleagues/team, perhaps because we don’t really get “inoculated” if that can really ever happen. In all our militaries, as officers and NCOs, as you well know we get taught to “take care of your troops”. Unfortunately both… Read more »
Bruce, Thank you for sharing and for your service to your Country and community. You hit the nail on the head stress and exposure are cumulative and different for everyone. Managing has to have balance. Take care of your team, take care of yourself. WE are all in this together. It is absolutely a tough gig (especially rural ED). Sometimes, just knowing that that you are emotionally safe in your space is what makes the difference. A place where you and your team feel valued, appreciated, understood and cared about creates that safety net and welcomes the difficult conversations when… Read more »
Thank you for that Tom. I can think of no greater compliment. Honesty can be very uncomfortable especially when powerful emotions are involved but it is so important. We all feel this way…. scared, conflicted, alone, raw at times and it helps to know that others do too. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Best to you.
