By way of introduction, here at Anamnesis — this is a medical podcast, but its one that isn’t about the pure medicine. Because sometimes medicine — the practice of medicine — is actually kind of simple. There’s drugs, there’s labs, there’s imaging, there’s research studies, trials, evidence-based medicine. Even if the actual content isn’t perfectly simple, there is a paradigm for the practice of medicine that is actually, in many ways, quite black and white. But what gets us going at Anamnesis isn’t that black and white discussion of medicine, but the parts of medicine that are gray. It’s what makes medicine an art, a practice, an experience. In every episode here at Anamnesis, we have three stories from three healthcare professionals surrounding one of these themes that are gray in medicine. And while we focus on the voices of healthcare professionals, we cross over frequently to patient voices. And that’s what this episode is about: We’re actually covering both the voices of patient and healthcare worker — and what happens when one voice crosses into the other role — because the theme of this episode is “Rx for Reality: Healthcare Professionals Confront Medical Gaslighting.” Chapter 1: When a Neurologist Asks for an MRI, You Order an MRI (3:58) — Following a slew of normal exams, this neurologist finally found answers. Story by Ilene S. Ruhoy, MD, PhD.

It's the podcast about the practice of medicine, the art of medicine, the experience of medicine -- not the science of it. Not the nitty-gritty drugs, not the procedures, the parts of science that were on pathophys [pathophysiology] exams. But it does mean we need to think beyond just the bedside sometimes. What are the things that trigger us? What are the things that take away from what we can do and what we want to do at the bedside? What are ways that we can mitigate it, that we can improve it? And that’s what this episode is about: To look beyond just the patient in front of them and to look at bettering conditions for all patients, other clinicians, and the system as a whole.
