Physician training saved my newborn grandbaby's life: I fear future patients won't have this privilege

Rebekah Bernard MD and Niran Al-Agba MD|9/16/2024

On the last podcast, I interviewed Dr. Anu Shokla who shared her story of her newborn baby being treated for an emergency rapid response by a nurse practitioner who had just rotated with her on the inpatient adult hematology oncology service.

After hearing that podcast, Dr. Carol Nelson reached out to share a story of the alternate version: her newborn granddaughter was saved because of the outstanding care from well-trained physicians and non-physicians working together in a physician-led care team.

Please enjoy this inspiring and uplifting story of why physician training matters.
