This episode takes you inside the real world of healthcare through the eyes of doctors who’ve lived it. From a patient rushed into emergency surgery on Christmas Eve to the often-missed warning signs of ovarian and prostate cancer, the conversation moves through decades of change in medicine. Along the way, it reflects on the evolving role of family practitioners, the impact of new diagnostic tools, and how electronic health records have reshaped daily care. Through firsthand stories and hard-earned insight, this episode explores what’s improved, what’s been lost, and why instinct, early detection, and patient advocacy still matter more than ever.
