Dear Healthcare, It's You: A new podcast about U.S. Healthcare

Episode 3:

We continue to dive into the bowels of the American Healthcare system and its institutions.

In the third episode of the ‘Dear Healthcare, It’s You’ podcast, co-hosts Jo O'Hanlon and internal medicine physician Dr. Elisha Yaghmai continue with Elisha’s story through his medical education.

Elisha's fourth year of medical school, while still illuminating in terms of the inherent flaws in our medical systems, finally offers a bit of reprieve from the previous rigorous abuse and obstructions to learning. As Elisha is able to delve into more hands-on and independent learning experiences through his fourth year of medical school, Elisha finds a renewed passion for what originally got him to pursue a career in medicine - the joy of helping others and being genuinely interested in how the human body works.

Being exposed to kinder working environments in the medical field, as well as getting the opportunity to learn independently ultimately helped Elisha greatly in his education experience, but the path was still riddled with clear glimpses of system pitfalls that could have resulted in much worse scenarios -- not just for him, but for his patients.

Join in to continue hearing the story, and getting a peak behind the curtain of what really goes into becoming a doctor in America.
