How each of us practices medicine is uniquely shaped by our experiences. Christine, a nurse practitioner as well as former EMT & Army medic, speaks with medical professionals from all specializations across the globe about the stories that have influenced how they practice medicine. Paramedics, nurses, doctors, & more recount tales that range from funny to wild to profoundly moving, but no matter the role, culture, or country, all are working to make humanity better any way they can.

Experiences May Vary

People who are drawn to healthcare tend to be amazingly compassionate, resilient, and hardworking, but the path each of us takes to our goals can vary just as much as the types of careers that exist in medicine.
Registered Nurse, Robin, candidly shares how her prior jobs as an exotic dancer & stripper taught her valuable skills that translate unbelievably well to MedSurg nursing and the ICU. After all, dealing with drunk men at a strip club is not much different than handling a combative GSW patient and their rowdy family members; only the shoes are a bit more comfortable.

The Boston Marathon Bombing: The Doctor
Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
This week we return to the topic of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing with Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Bryan Canterbury. Dr. Canterbury was one of many medical professionals, but only a few ER docs, who ran to the finish line on that sunny April day to treat the hundreds of victims injured after 2 bombs exploded during Boston’s hallowed race. With his typical candor & humility, Dr. Canterbury remarks on the differences between working traumas in the street versus the natural habitat of the ER physician, a well stocked & staffed hospital.
Note: I would like to correct the name mentioned in the podcast. The man who held the femoral artery of Jeff Bauman is name Carlos Arredondo, a Costa Rican-American and Gold Star Father. Carlos’ son, Marine LCpl Alexander Arredondo, was KIA in Iraq on 25 August 2004. Since then Carlos has worked as a peace activist as well as an advocate for Veteran mental health. He was at the 2013 Boston Marathon finish line to cheer on runners from National Guard Tough Ruck, one of whom was running for his son. I encourage you to find out more about Carlos Arrendondo
