Depression begets isolation, and isolation begets depression. It was isolation that echoed in my head like wordless thunder. I felt unworthy of anyone's care and concern, and it was easy to discourage any effort to show me compassion. I radiated a message of wanting to be left alone. I struggled to be present with patients and residents, to smile even though I didn't feel joy. Supporting residents in distress, I couldn't silence the drumbeat of my own anguish. I was a fraud mentoring them along a career path I had veered off with no guide of my own.

There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is. The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options. Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning. Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist. Views are my own.
