We discuss how patient interactions can bring joy to health workers, even in the most challenging of circumstances, and the value of curiosity and conflict as opportunities for continual improvement.

We also discuss issues of consumer feedback and how it is received by health care workers, as well as the role of Boards to empower consumer engagement.
