In this episode, Kerri Fitzgerald talks with Brittany Brinson, a PICU nurse whose son wound up in her hospital ward due to a rare genetic liver condition called progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis or PFIC. For 3 months after her son Corbin was born, Brittany searched for answers about her son’s health, often dismissed by others in the medical community. After his symptoms worsened and he landed in the hospital with a brain bleed, the family finally got much-needed answers. Brittany shares her family’s story and explains why healthcare workers also need support.

Key Highlights:

• Hear why Brittany Brinson first had concerns about her son’s health.
• Learn about Corbin’s rare genetic liver condition PFIC and the impacts of this condition.
• Hear how connecting with others and speaking at the recent Cholestatic Liver Disease Summit was an important experience for Brittany and her family.
• Be inspired by Brittany’s nonprofit, Moved by Their Compassion, which seeks to provide resources for healthcare providers.
