Inside the halls of American hospitals, millions of people find comfort, healing, and support. But for many doctors and nurses, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
This podcast will dive into the shadows of American healthcare to investigate and uncover the abuse, control, and political power plays that leave the very people responsible for our nation’s health, broken and battered.
We’re sharing stories of professionals in medicine that have experienced horrendous treatment at the hands of a broken system that does nothing to stop the trauma. As the Association of American Medical Colleges states, “Long before the #MeToo movement, women in medicine have instinctively banded together to counter a culture that too often tolerated harassment.”
From systemic trauma to abuse of power to the unspoken rules of cover-ups and corruption, Mandy Irby and HeHe will take you to the darkest corners of healthcare in America so you can have an inside look at bringing humanity back to medicine!

Ep.38: When Nurse Whistleblowers Then File Retaliation Claims
When Nurse Whistleblowers Then File Retaliation Claims
Have you ever felt like your job might be on the line for doing the right thing? Our guests today are two nurses who were fired for advocating for patient safety. Hear about how they fight back against a facility with a track record of systemic retaliation, and their advice on how to stay safe as a professional in healthcare and how to learn more on navigating a whistleblower situation in the future.
Sarah encourages fellow nurses to keep speaking up, continue to support each other when other speak up about safety and patient care, and look into unionization if your facility is not already unionized.
