4.8 out of 5 stars from 29 ratings
  • Meaningful and easy podcast - recommend for any clinician or patient at any level

    Grateful for this podcast that reminds us of the humanistic side of medicine at a time when this is needed, perhaps more than ever. This podcast explores poignant topics with a reading of a narrative followed by an interview with the author by Dr. Lidia Schapira to further explore the meaning of the narrative. A concise and meaningful podcast. Easy to listen to and typically a short 20 minute listen. I enjoy the interview portion most.
