Some of our stories have been a bit more heart, some of ours have been a bit more soul – and in this episode we’re a bit more brain, with our theme “Today I Learned”.

Today we have three physicians, from still-in-training to seasoned and “been around the block” physicians, who ...

Grit is a lot of things. Grit is the nastiness you discover in the corner of the room, when you move out of your med school apartment after 4 years of lots of studying and no deep cleaning… Grit is what you and your trauma patient are covered in when a crazy country circus clown decides it’s a good idea to ride a horse, drunk, and shoot off home-made fireworks on July 4th.

July 15, 2019 17:10 - 30 minutes - 42.1 MB

Anamnesis comes from a Greek word meaning “remembrance”, and also has come to mean “the remembering of things from a supposed previous existence.” And that’s what we do here – we feature the recounting of amazing tales, heart wrenching accounts and poignant stories from physicians who do it every day. Now, we bring you a different theme to explore: Fight or Flight. I don’t know a single doc who doesn’t still enjoy – at least a little – the pitter patter of your heart that certain medical situ...
