In this episode of Bio Bytes and our ongoing Bench to Bedside series, we learn about Dr. Meg Rosenblatt, Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Morningside and West and Professor of Anesthesiology. She is recognized as the first person to deliver 20% intralipid therapy to treat local anesthetic systemic toxicity in a patient.

We explore how she became a leader in anesthesiology, what it means to turn a case report into a career-defining moment, and how she balances clinical work, education, and leadership. Dr. Rosenblatt also reflects on the evolving challenges in the U.S. healthcare system, the importance of mentorship, moments that have most profoundly shaped her career, and offers practical advice.

Whether you're an undergraduate student, medical student, practicing physician, or just curious about the people behind life-saving innovations, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind and heart of a physician-leader committed to excellence in care and education.
