About this listen

Welcome to Health Unplugged, where we explore the world of health through the lenses of patients themselves. I’m Rachel, your host, a 4th year medical student shedding light on the impact disease has on patients' lives. In each episode I invite patients to share their personal experiences of living with various medical conditions, revealing the challenges they've faced and the adaptations they've made. Join us as we amplify patient voices, share powerful stories, and discover insights that can inspire and educate us all. For those living with these conditions, I hope you find comfort in hearing these stories – you are not alone.
