Next Episode: "An Accident"

On Lifespan, you’ll hear stories about encounters with the health care system. Each show contains stories bound by a common theme: chronic illness, substance abuse, end-of-life care—the topics will keep coming. The stories are deeply personal. Some suggest the best approaches to handling or treating an illness. Other stories simply reflect on an illness after it’s over or contain lessons on how best to communicate with physicians. Even when multiple people are describing their experience with the same disease or condition or treatment, each account is unique.
