When Care Breaks Down: Patient X Vs. the System

When Care Breaks Down: Patient X Vs. the System

Welcome to Patient X — a podcast that examines how our healthcare system and its workers sometimes lose sight of caring for patients. If you have felt unheard, disrespected, or treated like a very small part in a very large a machine, I hope you will find support here.  Our episodes share stories and lessons from my personal journey to get answers and treatment for my health issues, interviews with others who've suffered the same lack of care, and technics that can help friends and family better understand your unique situation as well as some to help you reclaim dignity in care. We’ll explore practical steps to shift policy and practice, spotlight where the system fails, and show how collective action can move the ball forward — one goal at a time. Patient X centers patients’ rights and the human element in healthcare reform.
