Have a friend, be a friend
Who are the friends that you can call on no matter what the circumstance? Who are the those that you can trust to love and care for you, even when you feel you don't deserve it? In our busy adult lives, we often miss opportunities to form deep connections beyond the bounds of traditional family and romantic partnerships. However, on this episode Kimberly takes the time to celebrate one of these connections and what it means to her.

Thank you for the gift
Thank you to Dr Tracey for shining a spotlight on Dr Manning’s gift. Like a stone cast into water, whose ripple reaches far shores you cannot see, I can’t even imagine the number of people she has helped with her inspirational teaching. It’s a gift that keeps on giving with Dr McMullen through this podcast, and in every teacher they inspire to share their gifts with new students. And on and on it goes - in gratitude, HG
Heartwarming & deep values
I never write reviews for podcasts but this one every time I listen is such a beautiful look into the goodness of humanity and two lovely friends sharing their own experiences in an awesome way. It recenters me on my own values and reminds me to look for the good in everyone that I encounter. All wrapped up in an interesting and engaging story. Thank you!
Team You
This episode took me back to what I loved about my time at Grady Hospital. It was the most human that I have felt over an extended period of time. I enjoy your Podcast and the ability to see the God in the least of Thee. It has been a frustrating time in medicine, so thank you for reminding me of the purpose of the calling. #TeamYou
