The Essence of Good Medicine

A moving and pertinent podcast about what it takes to be a truly compassionate physician. I’ve been a psychiatrist for over twenty years and listen to medical podcasts all the time - this is the real deal. Thank you, Dr. Rosenbaum, you are a cardiologist who is all about the heart!
