Are physicians heroes or victims? Are hospitals villains or guardians? The stories we tell about our healthcare system shape how we understand it. For Ron Turker, exploring narrative elements through writing has changed how he thinks about medicine.
Dr. Turker is a pediatric surgeon turned award-winning novelist, and a prolific writer who has used stories as a tool to spark culture change in healthcare. From the New York Times op-ed page to his book “The Wandering Jew of St. Salacious” – he brings humor to the biggest questions about how our healthcare system came to be like this and where we can go next.
Join Emily and Dr. Turker for a conversation about what it really means to leave healthcare better than you found it.
