Healthcare professionals across America are suffering from the inaccessibility of coping strategies that would help them to transform the excessive amounts of stress that they experience during each shift at the hospital or facility in which they work. Healthcare worker burnout, a disorder that manifests as physical exhaustion can be a side effect of a poor work-life balance. Other symptoms of burnout include problems with concentration as well as psychological disorders including depression and anxiety. Although it may seem odd, hospitals can start to implement programs utilizing alternative medicine in the form of mindfulness in combination with gratitude and vulnerability exercises that will not only create a positive corporate culture but also preemptively help these facilities save money by reducing rates of worker turnover, limiting the cost of employee treatment for burnout, and reducing the risk of employee accidents and poor quality of care leading to expensive patient lawsuits.

This autoethnography is the culmination of years of migraine research and self-experimentation with alternative medicine to treat Hemiplegic Migraine (HM). HM is a rare phenomenon that is commonly misdiagnosed as a stroke or epilepsy disorder since the symptoms can include partial unilateral paralysis or weakness, visual disturbances, unilateral headache, vomiting, and trouble speaking. There is no known cure for HM, and current migraine medications can be accompanied by adverse side effects at an expensive cost. Alternative medicine, such as dietary supplementation, meditation, and positive thinking are potential options for working in relationship with HM episodes. This thesis explores HM as a personally transformative experience by learning to grow from pain.
