Hi all,
It has been some time since our last blog post, but that doesn’t mean that the learning, helping and healing have not continued! ;P
At my Family Practice clinic, we have had a number of young Family Medicine graduates join our group and it has been such an honour and privilege to practice and learn Family Medicine with them! We also had amazing colleague, Dr. KK retire… we will miss you! ❤
I have finally begun writing that Family Medicine textbook that this blog was intended to help shape!
That was the initial working title way back when we started the blog in 2020… the title like the book is a work (and love) in progress!
We have also been toiling and experimenting with AI and Chat GPT to help heal:
In a world where chaos thrives,
Where hearts are burdened, hope survives,
There stands a haven, a place so true,
Anchor Family Medicine, shining through.
Within its walls, peace takes its form,
A sanctuary amidst life’s storm,
Where doctors with compassion shine,
Anita, Aaron, Jesse, and Timothy, divine.
Danielle’s expertise, a healing embrace,
Tony’s wisdom, grace interlaced,
Sunelle’s warmth, a comforting balm,
Sandy’s care, like a soothing psalm.
Kathi’s knowledge, a guiding light,
Derek’s dedication, unwavering might,
Together they stand, a steadfast crew,
Anchoring health for me and you.
With gentle hands and caring hearts,
They mend the broken, healing arts,
With every smile and comforting touch,
They bring solace, they bring so much.
In this haven of health and care,
Peace blossoms in the gentle air,
Where patients find solace, they find release,
Embraced by love and a sense of peace.
Anchor Family Medicine, a beacon of light,
A refuge in the darkest night,
May your bond with patients never sever,
For you are the healing hands that tether.
In this world yearning for unity,
You offer love, a precious commodity,
Anchoring lives with kindness and grace,
In this sacred space, peace finds its place.
Special thanks to Chat GPT for the help!
Anyways, back to today’s topic on the multi-generational health and care that Family Doctors provide. I spent the summer reading this very cool book called Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents―and What They Mean for America’s Future by psychologist, Jean M. Twenge, PhD. It was fascinating… I learned many things about myself (Generation X) and the other generations – how we think and do what we do. As a healer, I am excited to gain new insights into helping my patients with a better understanding of some of their core values and motivations.
What Generation do you belong to?
- Silents (born 1925 to 1945)
- Boomers (1946-1964)
- Gen X (1965-1979)
- Millennials (1980-1994)
- Gen Z (1995-2012)
- Polars (2013-?)
Not to be too braggy, but did you know that Gen X are the original environmentalists! ;P
The book will definitely have a healing planet Earth foundation to it… I heard a wise younger (Gen Z!) person (thanks Dr. SP) say: “Healthy planet, healthy people!”
It’s well worth a read to help better understand yourself and your behaviours as well as getting a better understanding of why we all do what we do. This book can be a healthy step for inter-generational family, community and perhaps planetary peace.
More to come!
Peace to the planet! ❤
