Central Standard Time to catch the greatest central sterile processing live show on planet Earth. How is it going, SGG? It's going great here. Like you asked me, it's a little gloomy. We got a lot of wind. But it's a new day. It's a new day. So it is just now kind of clearing up where we are. We had a tornado warning the last yesterday. So we're kind of. We're kind of happy to kind of see the sun kind of shine again. The wind is blowing a little hard, so we all right. As long as it's not freezing, I think I'm all right. That's good. I know that's right. So, SGG, last week we had a banger. It was a really great conversation. And we want to continue that conversation today on the show, especially when we talked about that mental health piece. And that's the last thing we talked about was the mental health on the last show. And the scenario was... That high pressure, low recognition nature of SPD creates extreme burnout and anxiety.
Why is mental health crucial in the SPD environment?
And I know that you wanted to, you know, kind of touch base on it just a little bit more. Or when we were ending the show, I know mental health was a big thing for you. Was there anything else before we start the segment today and go into some other topics? Were there anything else about mental health that you would like for people to pay attention to? I think that it's important in our departments that we pay attention to our team members. I think that we have to take into consideration that with the struggles of today's lifestyles, having to work a lot of them more than one job, that we have to be fully aware That how they think, how they're feeling mentally be considered and taken care of.
You know, you may have to offer a mental health day to somebody. You may have to offer a mental health week if they really are having some problems. But being cognizant of the fact that in today's world, especially here in America, how we feel mentally is important. And not to kick it under the rug, not to act like it does not exist because it does. And people are hurting. So they come to work and they're hurting mentally. They have problems and being able to see that. And that was my reason for taking the mental health first aid course was being able to see that and being willing to, as I said last week, not diagnose anybody's problem. I really don't want to know the problem, but I want you to know that I care and I'm aware and I'm willing to help you seek the necessary help. that you need in order to be able to function. Because understand, Dr. Jake, if I'm not functioning mentally, I'm doing a good job.
That's good.
