From the Trenches
“The lake at night: Music helped solve a medical mystery.”
Learn how music helped solve a medical mystery from a special issue of ACP Hospitalist.
“Change the Way You See Things”
In this episode of the 43cc podcast, learn about a practicing physician in the Rio Grande Valley who has been playing music for decades as a balm for his heart and soul, and as it turns out, for his patients. In the words of Dr. Cardenas, when it comes to healing people, “Music is at the core of it all.”
“Understanding Sadness & Grief in Medicine”
In this episode of the Drive Time Debrief podcast, hosts Laura Cazier, MD, Amanda Dinsmore, MD, and Kendra Morrison, DO, continue the conversation about the harder feelings in medicine—this time focusing on sadness and grief. This isn't just about patient deaths; it's about the mounting, often invisible, losses that accumulate over a career and silently fuel burnout.
