    It’s Our Turn: Thomas Fisher on Why He’s Running for Congress in Chicago Illinois
    Jan 14 2026
    In this episode I speak with Dr. Thomas Fisher, an emergency medicine physician and Chicago Illinois congressional candidate. We discuss the profound impact of the pandemic on healthcare, the intimate relationships formed in emergency medicine, and the motivations behind Dr. Fisher's run for Congress. The conversation delves into the importance of moral leadership, social determinants of health, and the role of physicians in civic engagement. Dr. Fisher emphasizes the need for active participation in shaping healthcare policies. Conversation highlights
    • The writing of his 2022 book The Emergency as a cathartic process during the pandemic.
    • Emergency medicine provides a unique perspective on humanity and vulnerability.
    • Social determinants of health are crucial for understanding patient care: the healthcare system often penalizes poverty.
    • Hope can be found in collective action and community support: it's important to take risks and step out of comfort zones for change.

    Dr. Resa E. Lewiss has spent over 25 years educating, speaking, and writing about healthcare, equity, and innovation. She is an emergency medicine and lifestyle medicine physician, a TEDMED speaker, healthcare designer, and award-winning author. In The Visible Voices Podcast, Resa shares smart, sharp, and insightful conversations with subject matter experts and interesting people—people who are really making a difference, have something to say, and a story to share. Resa doesn't do surface-level healthcare conversations here. She examines the architecture—power structures, equity gaps, and the distance between evidence and practice—to help you choose health and healthier behaviors in all aspects of life. She connects ideas most people keep in separate boxes. Since 2020, Resa has been here weekly with new episodes every Wednesday.
