Dr. Carl Streed, Boston Medical Center

I try to do the same, but with boundaries. I can’t give indefinitely at all times lest I be left a shriveled husk of a primary care physician.

Dr. Colleen Christmas, Johns Hopkins Medicine

I’m pretty intentional about kindness. I often think kind thoughts but as an introvert it does take energy for me to speak up, or even to make eye contact and smile. I try to plan this out each morning and review my day each evening to ensure I’m sowing kindness.

Dr. Aline Charabaty, Johns Hopkins Medicine

Offering daily the gift of time, smiling, actively listening to others, and using gestures that convey caring. Eid Kareem for those who celebrate!

Dr. Eric Last

Trying to be generous with my time and give when it’s needed. It seems to be my most precious resource.
