Inside the halls of American hospitals, millions of people find comfort, healing, and support. But for many doctors and nurses, this couldn’t be further from the truth. This podcast will dive into the shadows of American healthcare to investigate and uncover the abuse, control, and political power plays that leave the very people responsible for our nation’s health, broken and battered. We’re sharing stories of professionals in medicine that have experienced horrendous treatment at the hands of a broken system that does nothing to stop the trauma. As the Association of American Medical Colleges states, “Long before the #MeToo movement, women in medicine have instinctively banded together to counter a culture that too often tolerated harassment.” From systemic trauma to abuse of power to the unspoken rules of cover-ups and corruption, Mandy Irby and HeHe will take you to the darkest corners of healthcare in America so you can have an inside look at bringing humanity back to medicine!

When you are in a healthcare system - language is powerful. HeHe and Mandy dive into the importance of language: things that are said to patients, what is said around patients in the room, not correctly addressing someone by their choice of pronouns, etc.
Join us as we discuss this timely topic and how it pertains to the health and safety of patients and workers within the health care system. It's tough to vent our feelings and process an event but also balance a presence and therapeutic relationship with our patients.
In this episode, we discuss some tips and tricks for using language and transparency to center the patient and deflect a pushy colleague.
