Episode 14. Khalid Pasha is a cardiologist who found himself working at a hospital in New York City in early 2020 when Covid-19 hit. He could never have predicted what would then happen, but the journey to get there and to have the opportunity to save people was grueling.
Doctors go through lots of school, lots of test, lots of practice, lots of good and lots of bad to get where they are. Over the course of the interview Khalid talks about how naive he was entering the medical field in the first place, and how much he’s learned along the way. As tough as it is to be a doctor, there are few things as hands on and gratifying as saving people.
Together with host Greg Martin, the two discuss why Khalid chose his path, the ins and outs of medical school, choosing his specialty and what it was like to transform a hospital in New York in the early days of the pandemic.
