Today Jessica is sharing time with Dr. Christian VanderPluym, a pediatric cardiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital who has dedicated herself to improving the lives of patients with complex heart disease. She currently serves as the Medical Director for the Ventricular Assist Device Program, Director of Cardiac Antithrombosis Management program, and acts as Co-Director of the Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center.
In this powerful and poignant episode, Jessica and Christina discuss the challenges that come from caring for some of the sickest children. They discuss how to make care more sustainable for families and how to hold the tension of hope and honesty in difficult situations. You will get a glimpse of how a physician’s work impacts her personal life and how her patients influence how she lives and what she believes.
This episode is a must listen for parents and physicians caring for children with complex illness and equally important for those looking to see life through a new lens and understand more fully the gift of each day.
