What happens when an ER resident working 80-hour weeks suddenly becomes the patient who needs a heart transplant? Dr. Alin Gragossian shares her extraordinary journey from emergency medicine resident to heart transplant recipient, and how that experience transformed her perspective as a physician.
She discusses her path into critical care, the life-changing night that led to her transplant, and how her personal story shapes her empathy and advocacy for patients and caregivers today.
Dr. Gragossian also highlights her blog A Change of Heart, her co-hosted podcast Both Sides of the Stethoscope, and her leadership role as Chair of the AST Transplant Community Advisory Council. A powerful conversation on resilience, advocacy, and the human side of medicine.
Hosted by Kevin Foth of Eurofins Viracor.
