The Physician Grind Podcast

In this episode of the Physician Grind Podcast, Dr. Patel shares with us what it is like to work in rural emergency departments across the United States as a Locums Physician. Dr. Patel describes the racism he has faced in these parts of the country but also discusses how the practice of Emergency Medicine has allowed him to form bridges with the most unlikely of patients. This is especially interesting given the deeply divided political climate we are currently in.

This story was live recorded at our EM Storytelling Happy Hour in Denver, Colorado. Special thanks to our sponsor Locumstory for making the event possible.
