In Nathan's Neighborhood, we believe that joy can be found anywhere, from the most euphoric of moments to the darkest depths. Nathan's guest on today's show has seen all ends of the spectrum.
Today we talk to Dr. Stacy Nicholson, President of Children's Services and Chair of Pediatrics for Levine Children's hospital in Charlotte, NC. Throughout his long tenured career, Dr. Nicholson has been on the front lines of care for young patients and their families. While more than 80% of children with cancer can be treated and cured by modern medicine, that means that several patients can't.
Dr. Nicholson speaks to how he's able to balance his duty of care and the inherent nature of his work, why trust is so important between him and his patients, and the need for professionalism in roles like his.
