On the murder of UHC CEO Brian Thompson
This Is How Broken It Is.
A CEO was gunned down on the street last week.
We may not yet know the details of the shooter's motive but most of us are thinking the same thing: a family member seeking retribution after another unjust denial of care.
We identify with the outrage.
We shake our heads.
We comment on posts and articles.
We wonder what next?
But policies only change with significant opposition.
And opposition is hard to create in isolation or in a vacuum
Check this out.
A bunch of us lost our minds and ROARed (called Anthem BCBS) this week when they proclaimed they would be dictating how much anesthesia they would cover...
We figured out how to stand up and claim that power on behalf of justice and compassion for our patients.
What else can we do together??
How else can we shape our own destiny and healthcare?
ROAR is an act of self care and of revolution against the status quo.
It MIGHT just make an activist out of you.
TRANSFORMation requires you to overcome the activation energy of not-doing, not-choosing.
And if this is calling, YOU should answer that call.
I made you something. It's a BONUS podcast episode all about ROAR.

PS: If you're thinking that you don't belong here, let's chat. I've heard the following: But I'm in leadership...But I'm not in leadership...But I'm not practicing clinically....But I'm primarily clinical...But I'm self employed...But I'm too far gone... But I'm not feeling severely burned out right now...But I'm a coach myself ...But I'm not a coach or coaching is new to me... But I don't know the time of the calls yet...But I don't know who will be there...But I've never invested in myself like this before... But I've already used my professional development/ CME funds...Y'ALL. Stop listening to that little fearful voice. It's trying to protect you but it's also keeping you from one of the most VALUABLE, rewarding joyful experiences you could have. Call meh!
