What happens when the healthcare knowledge you've built your career on can't protect the people you love most?
In this episode, Laura shares what happened when her brother-in-law was critically injured in a car accident — and what it actually felt like to be a PTA in the waiting room. Ken adds his own experience navigating care as a new parent. Together they unpack the emotional challenge of separating clinician from family member, how to advocate without becoming "the challenging family member," what the No Surprises Act means for out-of-network hospital billing, and why the hardest boundary is sometimes the one you set on yourself.
Your clinical knowledge is a tool. But knowing how to use it when it's personal — that's a different skill entirely.
