  • When Efficiency Overshadows Empathy

    When Efficiency Overshadows Empathy
    Oct 3 2025
    What happens when medical expertise meets patient exhaustion without space for connection?

    In this episode, we hear the story of a young woman years into her struggle with chronic pain, searching not just for answers but for acknowledgment. A five-minute appointment left her with more than disappointment- it left her questioning the very system she turned to for help.

    Through her story, we explore how small gestures of compassion can transform even the briefest clinical encounter and why partnership in care doesn’t always mean solving the problem, but showing that the problem matters.

    🎧 Listen to this five-minute story on the tension between efficiency and empathy in medicine.

  • The Transparency Effect

    The Transparency Effect
    Oct 3 2025
    What does true partnership in medicine sound like?

    In this episode, we hear the story of a young man navigating life with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction and the possibility of an intestinal transplant. His surgeon’s approach—direct, unvarnished, and deeply human—offers a glimpse into how transparency can transform trust at the bedside.

    Through his story, we reflect on why honesty isn’t one-size-fits-all, and how tailoring transparency to the patient in front of us can shift care from a monologue into a dialogue.

    🎧 Listen to this five-minute story on how telling it like it is—when done with care—becomes one of the most powerful tools for connection

  • Boundaries in the Frozen Food Aisle

    Boundaries in the Frozen Food Aisle
    Oct 3 2025
    What happens when the lines between personal life and professional care blur?

    In this episode, Dr. Bahuyo shares a surprising encounter that began in a grocery store and quickly escalated into conflict in the exam room. Through her story, we see how moments of misunderstanding can fracture trust or open the door to deeper connection.

    Eva Minkoff reflects on the role of boundaries, the power of naming emotions, and the small shifts that can change the trajectory of patient-physician relationships. Because when healthcare becomes a relationship, not a transaction, healing can begin.

    🎧 Listen now for a five-minute story with lessons that ripple far beyond the clinic.
