59 分钟I was unrecognizable to myself.
You know, in a course of 12 hours, I went from dinner with a friend to someone who had multi system organ failure, who was on life support and not expected to survive.
So today's guest was living her life, doing great work in the world as an ICU physician.
At seven months pregnant, she found herself out to dinner with a friend in excruciating pain.
What unfolded over the next 24 hours was horrifying.
She found herself whisked into emergency surgery, but then admitted really into the wrong part of the hospital.
That led to devastating circumstances and set in motion a two year medical and personal odyssey that would end up profoundly changing both her own life, her own physical wellbeing, and her take on what it means to be a physician, what it means to take good care of yourself, and what it really means also to be in service of your patients.
She's also summed up and really beautifully illuminated this entire journey in her new book, In Shock.
Doctor Rana Odish is my guest today.
Really excited to share this conversation with you.
So before we dive into today's beautiful conversation, super quick update.
In case you didn't catch it on the last Thursday episode last week, we're always working on exploring ways to bring you more of what you want and less of what you don't want.
So we've been looking to and listening to trends and realized that we love producing two shows a week, but it's been creating a bit of overwhelm for a lot of people, and we're all about ease, not overwhelm.
So with that, we made a decision to put our Thursday show on hiatus, at least for the spring.
And starting this week, I'll be sharing any longer sort of thought pieces as essays on various places around the interwebs.
And we'll be adding in a super short, literally three minute GLP news and tips for better living spot at the beginning of our Monday jams, where I'll just share short and sweet updates about what we're working on, fun adventures, many shout outs, cool discoveries or links, and that'll just be a super quick touch in the beginning of our Monday shows.
Now, speaking of which, in today's GLP quick news and tips for better living, as I record this, I'm camped out in a little Airbnb in Burlington, Vermont.
That's why the tone of the mic might sound a little different to you with my wife and daughter, and we are sneaking in a bit of soggy snowboarding.
So sad.
It's so warm here and tomorrow we'll be touring Burton's 10,000 square foot R and D and snowboard prototyping workshop.
