This episode features the second half to Radio Rounds’ conversation with Dr. Conrad Fischer, author of Routine Miracles: Restoring Faith and Hope in Medicine. Make sure to listen to both parts of the interview (Episodes 215 and 216)!
In Part II of our interview, Dr. Fischer continues his message of hope and heroism in medicine, and he discusses how current medical students and physicians can overcome negativity that sometimes might rear its ugly head regarding the medical profession — whether it’s in the media or from physicians themselves. NOW, he says, is the best time to be in medicine — not 25 years ago, as you may hear some people say.
He describes his book, Routine Miracles, as a “manifesto for action” within the current culture of medicine, and he uses his closing message to assure the listeners of the inspiring and unprecedented work that physicians and the profession of medicine are doing.
