  • Episode 4: Banned From The Oncology Ward
    May 17 2026

    In this episode, Mary and Sharisse discuss stories from past workplaces (including a children's hospital, a TV station, and a restaurant where a violent assault took place), reconciling day jobs with artistic aspirations (especially when they're the wrong kind of environment for an artist to be in), what we can learn from human suffering, and what it means to be successful. Sharisse has a special message for an old grad school nemesis and former hospital colleagues. We also learn why parents who work in clinical research should never do Career Day at school.
