What is the spirit? If you want a TED Talk-like chat about this topic, search no further. Russell Hanks, our guest today, explores the idea of the spirit and what it could mean. This conversation not only addresses this very abstract concept, but also applies it to very practical and actionable ways that both clinicians and patients can harness the power of the spirit to optimize how they deliver or receive care respectively.
