There's a culture problem in medicine.

70% of us are disengaged, more than 50% contribute nothing to our departments outside

of our clinical work, and more than 15% actively work against a healthy culture in our departments.

What makes an emergency department run like a well-oiled super machine with staff that find meaning

in their work and who are grateful for doing their work? Well, there's individual skills,

there are team skills, there's the admin, and then there is

the oh so important culture which permeates all of these and can make them great or can drive

them into the ground.

This podcast is going to be quite different from most of the other

EM cases episodes. We're going to chat with two brilliant physicians who have a deep interest
