Dr. Evans says,

"Since I began working with psychedelics, I rediscovered my love for medicine and found myself actually enjoying my time in the hospital. The challenges and stress associated with caring for ICU patients, their families, the nurses, the administration, etc., can be off the charts. Because of my work with psychedelics, I found I was much more capable of handling all of those challenges, and handling them well."
