The Other Human in the Room

164. Spoon Theory


Listen Later

In this episode, I introduce the concept of Spoon Theory, originally articulated by Christine Miserandino, to explore the experiences of individuals living with chronic illness and disability. Through my reflections and the reading of Miserandino's article, I emphasize the importance of understanding personal capacity and the systemic challenges faced by healthcare professionals with disabilities. The conversation advocates for compassion and awareness within the healthcare system, encouraging listeners to recognize their own limits and those of their colleagues.
