In our exciting return, we sat down with José Martínez, an emergency department research nurse, who after a traumatic cycling accident found himself in his workplace hospital as a trauma patient. Offering insights into the emotional and physical challenges healthcare professionals face when the roles are reversed, Josés story is a testament of strength, vulnerability, and the intricate connections between our professional and personal lives. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that explores the profound resilience required to heal both physically and mentally.
