There is a rift between patients and the traditional healthcare system that we call medicine in the U.S. We feel it on both sides. Why? Well, we don't know but we DO know that we need to start talking about it.
Listen here as we start brainstorming what is happening with this relationship.
Do you have thoughts on it? We would love to hear them. Comment on this post on our instagram @beyondthediagnosispodcast

I wanted to make a podcast episode for my friends, family, anyone with Scleroderma, anyone who knows someone with ANY autoimmune disease really.
Rather than talk about what Scleroderma IS, I wanted to talk about what it FEELS LIKE to live in my body. To humanize the experience. I do that not for sympathy, but for understanding.
This is MY experience and these are MY thoughts. They won't be the same for everyone-- or really anyone since they are mine. Still, I hope they resonate with you and make you feel seen and heard and that there is a community here for you.

Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease? What does that mean? How is it treated?
We often think about Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus as autoimmune diseases. Yet, there are many other very common diseases that are in fact, autoimmune diseases.
Celiac disease, Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto's disease which is the number one cause of hypothyroid disease.
What do they all have in common? A misbehaving immune system. Join us as we walk you though autoimmune disease 101.

Where did the idea for Lessons We Didn't Learn in Medical School come from? We are dedicated We Can Do Hard Things listeners here. This podcast means so much to us. By listening to them, something inside us was sparked.
Listen here as Beth sends a "love podcast" (rather than love letter) to Glennon, Abby and Amanda and the We Can Do Hard Things pod and the podsquad. You all mean so much to us. We love you. Happy Valentines day.

Join us for this episode with my dear colleague and medical school friend Dr. Jessie Turnbull M.D., M.A. She is a Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Physician and also trained in Clinical Bioethics. She is the founder of Burning Bright MD, life coaching for women physicians.
Female physicians are the elite caregivers. As people who give, give, give are the most at risk for burnout. Hear how Jessie went from a burned out physician herself to becoming a person who coaches burned out physicians. Go from burned out to "burning bright" with us.
I love that Jessie is a coach who has played the game a long time and has wisdom to share. What is a coach? Who needs one? How is coaching different from therapy or mentorship?
Bonus, if you are a trainee or have limited resources, Jessie offers FREE and also sliding scale coaching for you.

Join us here as we talk about Kara's story of being diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome. The struggle to get a diagnosis is real- even for doctors. She speaks about being the "interesting patient", believing yourself and advocating for your healthcare.
Turning pain into purpose has been her mission for both herself, for her patients and now for you.

Physician heal thyself. We will extend that to ALL caregivers.
Caregivers include parents, children caring for aging parents and anyone who cares for others in a professional or personal capacity. We are trained to care for others. We KNOW it is important. Why are we so bad at caring for ourselves?
There is something about medical training and societal conditioning that makes putting others first virtuous, but what happens when we neglect ourselves?

Listen as Beth gives us a bit of her story.
Beth was diagnosed with Lupus at 20 years old, Polyarteritis nodosa at 24 years old and most recently with Systemic sclerosis/ Scleroderma at 44 years old. She is a wife and mother of two. After nearly 20 years in medicine, the diagnosis of Scleroderma in 2023 gave her the permission to jump off the treadmill of medicine and take time away from clinical care to focus on her own health and well-being.
Her doctor bio:
Dr. Beth Vukin, M.D. is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and subspecialty board certified in Pediatric Hospital Medicine. She has been at the University of Utah for nearly 20 years. Her clinical expertise is in the care of hospitalized children, particularly those with complex, multisystem, disease. Her areas of academic focus are: medical education, simulation and debriefing, communication amongst medical teams and families, wellness and resiliency and women in medicine.
