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!

Ever felt so ready for a career change that it feels like the next frustration or backwards new policy might just put you over the edge to changing jobs? That’s exactly what this week’s guest did after just 3 months at her nursing job! Bridget Burke was motivated by frustration - a lousy orientation, retaliation for safety-reporting, and the pettiness and bullying was obvious from day one. She knew she wouldn’t thrive as a nurse in that environment. A few timely coincidences later, she’s now part of a tech startup and passionately advocating for nursing innovation that benefits nurses!
You’ll love meeting Bridget just as much as we did. It might even inspire you to pursue other fields, like tech, that need your expertise!
