In today's episode I speak with Wendy Dean, MD, is a psychiatrist and co-founder of the non-profit organization Fix Moral Injury. We discuss her book If I Betray These Words and the work being done to address moral injury in healthcare.

The two conditions may occur separately, or simultaneously, and may influence each other, but addressing one does not guarantee resolution of the other."Her recent article in The New England Journal of Medicine, titled Moral Injury and the Global Health Workforce Crisis, underscores the urgent need for compassionate care within healthcare systems.She is the host of the podcast Moral Matters with Dr. Simon Talbot, which explores moral injury faced by healthcare professionals with a focus on solutions and the need for change.More recently, she hosts 43cc with Dr. Matt Ramsey and they take an in-depth look at medicine’s machinery tearing the patient-physician relationship apart and to stitch them back together.
