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!

Today we continue to review the White Paper written by National Nurses United: Deadly Shame: Redressing the devaluation of Registered Nurse Labor Through Pandemic Equity.
Maybe, like us, you’ve heard of PTSD and burnout, but have you heard of moral injury- what many healthcare professionals are experiencing in the pandemic, additional stressors piled on top of the usual job stresses.
First we’ll define moral distress, moral injury, and discuss who’s at risk and some examples. Maybe it’ll feel less lonely for you to learn that maybe what you’re experiencing has a name, it’s common, and it’s totally normal and understandable given the work situation you’re currently in.
Can you relate to these feelings or outward symptoms in your work? We’d love to hear your examples of knowing the right thing to do for patients but not being able to provide that safe or adequate care due to institutional constraints. Share with us on IG!
