Interview - David Blacker - Physician and Patient


Listen Later

David talks about being both physician and patient, what it takes, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "Hope is the exact ingredient that is, one of the famous, Neurologists from the Netherlands, named Bastiaan Bloem. He had a patient who talked about, we talk about dopamine replacement in Parkinson's, and Bas's patient, coined the term hopamine. If you give people hope, that really, can open up the world for them."
