Full Exposure with Brian Kelly

Pediatric Cardiologist
If you’re a regular listener to this podcast, you know my family has navigated a medical crises or two with our girls. So I was especially excited to be able to sit down with Dr. Ron Grifka, a man who has as an impressive medical resume as probably any doctor in the country.
At his core, Dr. Ron Grifka is a man who has dedicated his entire life to repairing the hearts of children. The children and their families that need his very specialized expertise are facing a lot of uncertainty and no doubt meet Dr. Grifka at a time when some of their very toughest days and weeks are right in front of them.
In this episode we talk a lot about his dedication to these families, what carries him through both the good and bad days being a doctor, the unique pressure he feels when intentionally stopping a child’s heart so a delicate procedure can be completed…and then hoping that heart starts up again. We also discuss Texas barbecue and France. It’s a good one!
Dr. Grifka now oversees over 500 doctors and 17 different departments in his role as Chief Medical Officer at Metro Health | University of Michigan Health.
This episode is made possible by:
Metro Health | University of Michigan Health and Dr. Peter Hahn
