Critical care physician's memoir shares her experiences as a patient

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

On the last day of her critical care fellowship, Rana Awdish, MD, became a critical care patient herself.

Awdish refers to her experiences as a dual education. She learned how to be a doctor from both her medical training and her time as a patient.

She wrote about her experiences in the memoir "In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope." She speaks to medical professionals across the country.

While Awdish is in Sioux Falls to speak at a Sanford Health medical education event, she steps into SDPB's studio.
