“Writing Therapy – Work Life Balance for Clinicians” — Southern Medicine Podcast is Now Available

June 4, 2025 // Southern Medical Association

In this episode of Writing Therapy, SMA Education Committee Vice Chair Dr. Richard Leggett sits down with Dr. Carey Robinson, a retired ophthalmologist whose creative journey has taken him well beyond the exam room. Known by his pen name “Dr. Crawdaddy,” a nod to his Louisiana roots and LSU background, Dr. Robinson shares how writing has become a meaningful outlet in retirement. From a children’s book (Yes! That's What I Do Best!) and a collection of life lessons (The Last Sip of Coffee) to an Advent devotional and two upcoming works-in-progress, his projects illustrate his passion for storytelling. Tune in as he discusses the therapeutic power of writing and the inspiration behind his body of work.
