'Health Yeah! with Monica Robins' podcast | Hope and healing with Dr. Robert Smith

EPISODE 10: You can change your outlook to one of hope and healing when things get dark. Today we’re going to inspire you, hopefully fire you up and make you reflect on what’s really important in life, which in the middle of a pandemic is some much needed stress relief we all need. To help me do that is Dr. Robert Smith, a psychologist and the director of the Medical staff Assistance Program at MetroHealth. Dr. Smith had surgery today (April 1) to remove cancerous lesions on his lungs and liver. Ironically, it’s April Fool’s day, but also the start of Stress Awareness Month. For the last five years he has battled colon cancer, and its spread. However, his attitude is one of hope, healing and gratitude. He and I discuss how we tackled our issues. For me, it was a brain tumor diagnosis in 2019 and subsequent surgery. The tumor remains on my carotid artery, optic nerve and left eye, and I still have to have MRIs every six months to check its growth. We both learned a great deal from our experiences, and we hope our conversation helps you better deal with the stress, grief or mental anxiety in your life.
