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!

Even if it doesn’t feel like a massive responsibility, being a healthcare professional on the internet means something to consumers. This week we’re discussing a recent encounter Mandy had with a physician on Instagram, and it led to a lot of great lessons!
This person was talking about their personal feelings, their personal experiences, but they definitely carried some weight, because she was “Dr.” on her profile.
It’s probably due to consumer bias, but consumers of social media assume you know more than they do about a topic when you share about it. Even if it’s just a personal opinion or anecdote! Yikes!
It’s new to us to have so much access to so many healthcare professionals, so it’s understandable that it will take some time for all of us to learn how to navigate healthcare content on social media. It’s interesting to watch it evolve.
Do you follow some favorite healthcare pros on Tik Tok or Instagram?
Ever find yourself buying their recommendation or reading the books they're reading?
Interesting, huh?!
Medical influencers - there are for sure pros and cons to these online relationships!
