S4E6: Unlearning Fatphobia Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

As a medical community, we have—whether unknowingly or not—assisted in normalizing fatphobia by simply instructing patients to "lose weight" without having the complicated conversation of "why?" To understand how fatphobia and weight bias have become internalized in ourselves, it's important to think back and reflect on our experiences. Concluding the conversation on the flaws of BMI—in S4E6, Margaux, Harjit, and guest pediatric nurse Isis talk about their struggles with weight bias and combating fatphobia in medicine.

S4E5: Invalidate BMI Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

As health care providers, we were probably taught at one point or another during our education that health is the absence of illness. And that a person's weight is a standard measurement of health. But the origin of BMI—body mass index— was never intended to link a person's weight with how healthy, or unhealthy, they are. In S4E5, pediatric nurse Isis joins Margaux and Harjit to discuss weight bias and the flaws of BMI.

S4E4: Radicalizing Health Care Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

Medicine is rooted in systems—but that doesn't mean change isn't possible. When you imagine a new and better world, it's important to understand why the current one isn't working. Before anything, radicalization begins when you challenge yourself. Concluding the conversation on radicalism—in S4E4, Harjit, Bushra, and Margaux share moments of radical impact in health care and discuss how to move forward towards change.

S4E3: Radical Beginnings Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

According to Paulo Freire, "The radical, committed to human liberation, does not become the prisoner of a 'circle of certainty' within which reality is also imprisoned." Radical thinkers tend to think outside the circle and should challenge the question, "What radicalized me?" Continuing from the previous episode—in S4E3, Harjit, Bushra, and Margaux further their conversation on being radical thinkers and remember to the beginning of their radical journey.

S4E2: Be Radical Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

Every person's worldview is based on their personal experiences. We should understand how we view the world now, and how we want to view it in the future. According to Paulo Freire, "The radical, committed to human liberation, does not become the prisoner of a 'circle of certainty' within which reality is also imprisoned." In S4E2, Harjit, Bushra, and Margaux discuss what it means—to them—to be radical.

"It's Not Right, But It's The Way Things Are" Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

Sometimes, you just need people to tell you the truth, even if the truth isn't something you might want to hear. A good mentor not only points out your strengths but also helps you correct weaknesses as well. In this mentor moment, Bushra remembers a hard, but important, piece of advice from her first year of undergraduate.

"You Need to Start Saying, 'I Can Do This'" Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

It's a strange dynamic when everyone around you gives you praises and compliments, but you're full of negative self-doubt. Words can have the ability to bring you down, but it can also just as easily prop you up. In this mentor moment, Leen shares one of the most important lessons she learned in med school.
