When the idea of this podcast came to fruition, there were a few people who came to mind immediately - Dr. Moyez Jiwa is one of them. Dr. Moyez Jiwa is a family physician working in Australia. He is author of the book The Art of Doctoring and Editor-in-Chief of the Health Design podcast. Moyez believes that doctors can heal even when it is not possible to cure, saying "Life is not fair. So it is OK to feel cheated, frustrated and disappointed. But in the end the best companions are those who nurture us when we are broken. It is a privilege to be that person who shares those intimate moments when you are not at your best because we earn the right to witness the moment your magnificent spirit unfolds it’s wings." In addition to practicing medicine, writing books and hosting the Health Design Podcast, Professor Moyez Jiwa is associate dean and professor of Health Innovation at the Melbourne Clinical School, University of Notre Dame and has recently developed a Course in Clinical Confidence to prepare doctors for the real world. Today we'll be talking about the imperative for compassion in Western medicine, taking a look at the current healthcare landscape and importantly, discussing what we can do to maximise our chances of good health in a Covid-normal world.
