    One of the best presentations. Thank you so much Dr. Liang. Powerfully authentic considering Dr.Liang’s personal history.

    I simply want to commend Dr Liang for her beautiful response to her life-threatening illness and the culture of medicine currently. Not only is she taking steps to make her own life better but also trying to improve the lives of other physicians. I am also a physician in San Diego, but despite practicing yoga and meditating regularly as well as taking those walks at lunch every day, I had to leave the practice of medicine at the age of 59
    because of the effects it was having on my mind and body.

    Thank you Dr Liang for sharing your experiences as a doctor and a patient. I am in process returning to work while living with blood cancers. This presentation has strengthened my resilience and capacity to be more skillful and compassionate with myself and others. Dr Breton, I admire your mindful capacity to interview, listen and dialog with your guest. Thanks
