Code lavender (HuffPost)

The Cleveland Clinic is sending out a loud signal to the world that healthcare is a stressful field for all people that work in it.  They implemented a new code, Code Lavender, to serve physicians in need of intensive emotional or spiritual support.
Within 30 minutes of a call, the Clinic's team of holistic nurses arrives at the unit in need to provide Reiki and massage, healthy snacks and water, and lavender arm bands to remind the nurse or physician to take it easy for the rest of the day.
Wouldn't it be awesome to work there for this perk (amongst many others)?  Note to self: ask about how hospitals deal with physician burnout when going through residency interviews.
