Operate with Zen
While incredibly rewarding and honored vocations, careers in medicine and surgery are fraught with stress, burnout and challenges in work-life balance. OWZ is intended to open dialogue about a mindful approach to surgery - to create a space where physicians and surgeons can enhance their life's work and life experience with a focus on presence, purpose and practical skills. OWZ combines didactic-like monologues to provide baseline information and available scientific data on practical topics like time management, sleep hygiene and burnout; as well as interviews with surgeons and experts to share what works and doesn't work in their daily routines.

51. Keeping Your Eyes Open with Dr. David Canes
•
Season 5
•
Episode 6
David Canes, MD is a urologist at the Lahey Clinic in Boston. He is incredibly thoughtful in his approach to medicine and his approach to life outside of medicine. Early on in this podcast, we discuss not letting urology [or surgery] to be the only thing of which you are proud. We talk passion projects and David's newest adventure (wellprept.com). And we talk about ways to avoid "pressing play" - David's analogy for just going through the motions with a patient, but creating the environment in which you can be truly present with a patient, with a surgery, with your family, or your next adventure. Enjoy!!
