Podcasts by Reconciling Medicine
We are the Doctors Paro, and welcome to the Reconciling Medicine Podcast. We are a dual physician couple in practice - and for over a decade we’ve been navigating the ups, downs and in-betweens of this profession......together. We’ve done a lot of things right, and we’ve made plenty of mistakes. Some say the practice of medicine is dying - it’s not. But it is changing and we must adapt. This podcast is an exploration of our relationship with medicine - how we fit it into our lives, how it affects the people we love, and why we are optimistic about the future. We believe that with the right commitment and mindset we can all learn how to Reconcile Medicine.
