This episode is about something that is at the very foundation of healthcare—connecting with our patients. Join me as I talk with my friend and mentor, Terry McGee.
Terry and I met during my time at Johns Hopkins. He was the director of the orthopedic residency program that I participated in and has been a significant influence on my practice from the beginning. We’ve remained friends and I’m so pleased to have him on the podcast to share his wisdom and compassionate approach to care with the world.

In this two-part episode, I talk with Peter Stilwell, whose work has radically expanded my understanding of pain and other deep concepts like mind-body dualism and the biopsychosocial model.
In part II of this two-part episode, Peter and I talk about the topic of Peter’s latest paper— pain-related suffering. This is a topic rich with complexity as well as applicability to anyone working with people in pain. Peter’s approach to pain-related suffering is well-complemented by Enactivism, so if you haven’t listened to part I yet, I’d recommend doing so before or after this episode. Enjoy!
