Dr. Athanasius' story

Dr. Athanasius' story

A retired nephrologist shares a concise account of his experience with physician burnout, and sparks a very probing conversation between Jason and Arlene about the idea of medicine as ministry. Their discussion takes some unexpected turns as they meditate on the concept of service, the proposal to consider that our lives are NOT about us, and the freedom one can possibly find in surrendering to whatever it is that causes us pain, including our own burnout.
