The Other Human in the Room

181. ADHD in Healthcare with Melissa Beacom, OT and Tara Embrey, OT


Listen Later

In this conversation, I speak with Tara and Melissa, two brilliant occupational therapists who open up about the challenges faced by healthcare professionals—especially those navigating the system with ADHD. We talk about the hidden curriculum in medical education, how metrics can distort our sense of self-worth, and the vital role of community support. This conversation is a powerful reminder of why systemic change is so necessary if we want to build a more humane healthcare environment for both professionals and patients.
