Wellbeing – The joy of socks
In Australia, a staggering 25% of doctors have had thoughts of suicide in the past 12 months, a recent survey said. Mental health problems are higher in medicine than any other job – and yet healthcare professionals are still stigmatised for seeking help. Partly in response to his own struggles, Geoff Toogood, a cardiologist in Melbourne, started an ingenious campaign called CrazySocks4Docs to highlight the issue.

What I am proposing below, however, is my own classification of how someone can matter, after taking into account existing concepts and frameworks.
Why is mattering important? Unless we have a sense that we matter, we may n...
