Physician training saved my newborn granddaughter: Future patients may not have the same privilege

On a previous episode, 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 the opposite version, where her newborn granddaughter was saved because of the outstanding care from well-trained physicians and also non-physicians working together in a physician led care team.

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