For part nine of our No Barriers Alchemy Series host Dave Shurna and guest host, Tom Lillig, interview Dr. Rana Awdish, a critical care physician operating on the front lines during COVID-19 at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI. Dr. Awdish’s own serious illness in 2008 has informed her belief in the power of compassion, sacred listening, and community. As medical director of the Care Experience for the Henry Ford Healthcare System, she is training staff to practice empathy in critical care.
Her book, In Shock, a memoir based on her own critical illness was described in A New York Times book review as “the one I wish we were given our first year of medical school, alongside our white coats and stethoscopes.”
