  • Summary

  • Inside the halls of American hospitals, millions of people find comfort, healing, and support. But for many doctors and nurses, this couldn’t be further from the truth. This podcast will dive into the shadows of American healthcare to investigate and uncover the abuse, control, and political power plays that leave the very people responsible for our nation’s health, broken and battered. We’re sharing stories of professionals in medicine that have experienced horrendous treatment at the hands of a broken system that does nothing to stop the trauma. As the Association of American Medical Colleges states, “Long before the #MeToo movement, women in medicine have instinctively banded together to counter a culture that too often tolerated harassment.” From systemic trauma to abuse of power to the unspoken rules of cover-ups and corruption, Mandy Irby and HeHe will take you to the darkest corners of healthcare in America so you can have an inside look at bringing humanity back to medicine!

    Ep. 48: Patient Advocacy in the Birth Room
    Nov 11 2022

    Today HeHe and Mandy sit down with Nurse Melissa, who originally intended to share her story anonymously. After some consideration, she decided to share her identity and shift her share into a story about nursing. Combining a history of 15 years of nursing details and crafting one powerful (and at some points hard to hear) story about patient advocacy in the birth room.

    This story may resonate deeply with you, because her story is all of ours. Whether you have been that nurse, on that medical team, a birthing human, or a support person. And this story needs to be heard.

    Melissa's share does include topics like birth trauma, medical manipulation, abusive power relationships in the workplace - so if you need to listen at another time, pause, or fast forward- we encourage you to do what is right for you.
