My Most Extreme Patient Encounters (7x53)

Air date: May 10, 2023

Over my 10 year career as a physician I've had some interesting patient encounters. Today I thought I'd share them with you not just for entertainment, but to better understand how patients can advocate for themselves effectively during a doctor's visit, and how hospital systems can more effectively take care of their patients. Today I share the story of how we saved a woman's life who was suffering a hidden brain bleed following a car accident, a man who received a false positive HIV test result, a patient's shocking cancer diagnosis, and a woman who claimed to have spoken to my mother from the afterlife.
