70+ Long-Form Interviews with Physicians, Researchers, Cancer Survivors, and Policy Leaders
Over the past three years, I have produced and hosted over 70 in-depth interviews with physicians, cancer survivors, healthcare policy leaders, and medical researchers. These conversations required extensive clinical and scientific preparation, the ability to communicate across expertise levels, and the kind of sustained, empathic listening that defines effective patient-physician interaction.
This work is the foundation of my commitment to medicine — not as an observer, but as someone who has spent hundreds of hours learning how doctors think, how patients experience illness, and where the gap between the two becomes a clinical problem.
