We end an unprecedented year with an incredible woman, Dr Kristina Kramer is a childhood friend who I recently reconnected with over Facebook after 35 years.  She is currently the Head of ICU at John Muir Medical Center in Northern California and for the majority of the year has been sharing via Facebook her daily experiences ‘in the trenches’.  I’ve been passionately following along and recently had the honor of interviewing her.  Please listen to this homage to the brave medical professionals that have been leading the fight against COVID.  Our conversation touches upon the vaccine, being a women and balancing one's life’s work and what she believes being a medical professional is fundamentally about.  Join us in honoring the heroes who have tirelessly took care of us and who have risked their lives for our own.
