After Dr. Rana Awdish published her bestselling medical memoir In Shock, about her own critical illness in the last months of her fellowship, it was translated into multiple languages and taught in medical schools all over the country. She became a leading voice in medicine and the patient experience.

But Rana's healing journey was far from over. In the aftermath of her prolonged hospitalizations, she found herself oddly estranged from her own body. She'd been conditioned by medicine to view sick bodies as broken objects, and so she turned outward for all her healing. But she soon realized this would not be enough. And when her own body warned her that she would be dead in five years, she was unsure whether to trust it.

Welcome to Hippo Education Presents: The Monthly Rounds, an open door to the expert-led learning behind Hippo's podcasts. This month, Dr. Rana Awdish discusses these themes and more from her new book, After Shock: Learning to Reinhabit My Body After Illness. She and Dr. Neda Frayha discuss where and how healing actually occurs, how listening to her body's wisdom saved her life, and why our medical training provides us with only part of the story.

Gunnar Esiason was two years old when he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. He spent lots of time in hospitals, and by the time he was in his 20s, he was really sick. His medical team was running out of options.

But then, when Gunnar was 27, he participated in a clinical trial that would change his life.
