Guest Quotes:

16:37 “I think it’s not only just important for ourselves to be able to find a little bit of that inner peace but it’s also really important with our patient interview, because if you can’t still your mind while you’re asking the patient all their subjective information, if you can’t make that connection. You’re not going to have real good rapport with that patient. So if you can’t find that stillness in yourself…”

25:33 “You need to find some type of outlet…it’s learning how to just find some calm, find some peace, maybe start kicking in your parasympathetic nervous system for a change.”

Rapid Responses:

“The opening theme for Star Wars, A New Hope.”
