One of the most overlooked but transformative tools in health care is the courage to face hard truths, especially at the end of life.
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Zitter shares how burnout and a pivotal confrontation early in her ICU career led her to embrace the palliative care movement and shift toward more human-centered healing. Through her films Extremis, Caregiver: A Love Story, and The Chaplain and the Doctor, she uses storytelling to explore ethical dilemmas, systemic challenges, and the urgent need for holistic care and honest conversations about death.
Tune in and learn how emotional honesty, empathy, and art can rehumanize health care, one story at a time!
