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!

Recently, a hospital system showed their true colors when they put a restraining order on seven previous employees from taking a better job offer across town. That’s right, instead of a stellar counter offer to the stroke care team, the hospital system took them to court and blamed the staff for limiting the community’s access to critical medical care.
Even if you’re not part of this 7-person stroke team and you’re not affected by this court hearing in Wisconsin, this legal battle is important to hear about. It’s a very clear example of the lengths the healthcare facilities in the U.S. will go to underpay and undervalue some of their most talented staff. It may just be rounding down your clock-out time on your time card or auto-deducting your lunch break, but this lawsuit is an example of hospital facilities flexing their perceived ownership of their employees. Healthcare employers don’t have our best interests in mind. Healthcare professionals need to have confidence in our value.
HeHe makes a great point in this week’s episode:
“You deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and have your boundaries respected that you have set with your employer and that you have set for your time off of work.
So if those are constantly being violated, reevaluate, whether your place of employment actually values you or do they actually just view you as another warm body on the floor?"
