Choosing Wisdom: The Path Through Adversity, Pt. 1

Choosing Wisdom: Physicians

The Wisdom Through Adversity researchers, including Dr. Plews-Ogan, are based at the University of Virginia and are studying individuals who suffer from chronic pain and physicians who have been involved in a serious medical error, in an effort to understand the path through adversity to wisdom. Choosing Wisdom: The Path Through Adversity, a documentary exploring the themes of this work, premiered on National Public Television in 2012. The film highlights just a few of the individuals who found creative, meaningful and wise ways to move through their most difficult struggles. This segment of the documentary is geared toward physicians.
