このエピソードについて
One of our most popular podcast episodes in the last year was with the beloved Dr. Sayed Tabatabai -- known as @TheRealDoctorT. Through story, he helps us notice, wrap words around and digest the array of feelings that come with being in this global pandemic -- love, loss, confusion, and more.
He’s a critical care physician who lives in a world where a year ago he and his colleagues were called heroes. Now they are often distrusted, villainized, and concerned for their own safety. His writing is addictive in that he subtly beckons us to see life in more depth, to become more alive ourselves, and to hope for what's better in all of us.
Listen to how Dr. T strives to create balance under stress, how taking breaks figures in, what he's learned in the last year that he wants listeners to know, his love for Apple's hit show Ted Lasso and more.
With Dr. Mark Shapiro, another upcoming Genius Podcast return, Dr. T co-hosts a fun and funny podcast series called #MedLasso which explores how the show relates to health care today.
