Season 3 Episode 7: David Tamale-Sali Medic SOS and Shame in Medicine

In this episode I am joined by David Tamale-Sali where we discuss shame within medicine and how this lead him to develop his Medic SOS project.

In the spring of 2003, David found himself kicked out of Medical School at the start of resitting his third year. He spent the next two decades off the beaten path, working in various jobs and even returned to medical school, but he kept encountering distressed and frustrated Medics from around the world .

After encouraging a Doctor in distress on Facebook, he felt inspired to put together a book that gathers encouragement, insights, and strategies for overcoming burnout from over 100 doctors, to raise money for: Doctors in Distress, You Okay Doc? The Lorna Breen Foundation, Physicians Anonymous and Practitioner Health.
