Ep 84: Five Things Learned From Being On The ”Other Side” Of Healthcare With Rebecca Boparai

In this episode Liz and Jesse are joined by Rebecca Boparai to learn from her experience of being on the “other side” of healthcare. Rebecca works a Nurse Practitioner in Diabetes, but her story is about the impact that experiencing the healthcare system as a partner who lost her husband to cancer has shaped her professionally and personally. We were so pleased to provide a place for Rebecca to chare this wisdom forged through such a heavy personal experience.

Rebecca’s Five Things:

1. The patient is a person first.
2. Slow down and look for the small moments – they can have huge impact.
3. Empathy is different from sympathy.
4. Family, friends and community are incredibly important in this journey.
5. What will be our legacy?
