We explore how curiosity, play, and presence restore our humanity in medicine and keep clinical work meaningful. A bluegrass afternoon becomes a real-world reset that shows why fun isn’t optional for resilience, empathy, and good care.
• losing curiosity under stress and paperwork
• presence as a clinical skill and reset
• bluegrass day as a model for restorative play
• recharging through family, community and music
• reframing appointments as human meetings
• laughter as medicine for brain and body
• three takeaways: micro-curiosity, scheduled fun, permission to be silly
• a weekly challenge to try one curious question or one fun act
