In this thought-provoking episode of Meet the Toberts, Daren and Sue Tobert dive into the concept of "staying left of bang," a principle borrowed from Marine Corps combat training that emphasizes proactive measures to prevent burnout in the healthcare profession. With over 80 years of combined experience, the Toberts explore the current crisis in healthcare, drawing parallels between the battlefield and the challenges faced by medical professionals today. They discuss the importance of self-awareness, the need for support systems, and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining well-being. Listeners will gain insights into recognizing triggers, fostering connections with colleagues, and taking control of their work-life balance. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that while burnout is an occupational hazard, it is also a signal for change, urging healthcare workers to prioritize their mental health and personal lives.
