Ep 32: What Everyone Needs to Know about Burnout with Dr. Andrew Tisser

In this uncertain time of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the last thing we need is for our most important healthcare workers to get burned out, fatigued, or get sick. Listen in to this episode where I talk to Dr. Andrew Tisser, ER and urgent care physician as he explains about burnout, or as he puts it “moral injury.” What everyone needs to know in order to protect the people that keep us safe. He shares with us about the COVID-19 Pandemic Physicians Protection Act (CPPPA). We discuss topics like building a stronger primary care physician gatekeeper-based healthcare. We talk about the importance of mental and behavioral health, and about the importance of better healthcare communication and collaboration. Dr. Tisser also talks to us about the various challenges he faces with COVID-19, as well as patients with chronic illnesses like diabetes, cardiovascular disease. Oh, we get a little bonus as well. Dr. Tisser shares with us his favorite recipe of Chicken Shawarma (recipe available on my website One Small Bite).
