  • 0:06
    beautiful it is for Gale and me in Massachusetts today we are having
  • 0:11
    glorious summer and even that Gale it’s given that we’re talking about burnout it’s kind of interesting to have this
  • 0:18
    juxtaposition with the beautiful summer and the idea that one could be burned
  • 0:23
    out to say a few things about Gale and
  • 0:29
    I’m not going to go through the formal bio because you could all read that and I wanted to share a few things that Gale
  • 0:36
    shared with me which I think tell you something about both depth of character
  • 0:42
    and commitment people who are struggling so Gale a volunteer at hospice when she

    been dedicated to vulnerable populations ever since for all of our medical career

    extremely difficult all to play and we wrote a book 400 health complications

    it’s called mindfulness support for Alzheimer’s caregivers and then more
  • 1:35
    recently has suited to help physicians because I guess scaling your time as a

    doctor well they’re not in hospice and they don’t have Alzheimer’s

    struggling in a way that wasn’t the case decade is it go and so Gail’s been
