About Us
War(d) Stories Podcast is a platform where physicians can tell their stories. We discuss experiences with patients and the challenges unique to each specialty. We explore the difficult emotions, fears, and realities of the medical field to hopefully better engage these feelings.
Each episode consists of a video and audio version.
Our episodes are on our website, YouTube, Spotify, and Soundcloud.
