We’re talking about trauma-informed care, burnout, resilience, Long COVID, medicine in extreme environments, the nervous system, leadership, identity, recovery… and what happens when the doctor becomes the patient.

This is one of those conversations that feels deeply human. Honest, reflective, uncomfortable in places, hopeful in others -  basically exactly the kind of conversation we love on this podcast.

So grab a coffee, pretend your inbox doesn’t exist for the next hour, and let’s get into it.”

In this episode, we explore some of the challenges that many healthcare professionals experience but rarely talk about openly. We discuss imposter syndrome, burnout, resilience, leadership, workplace culture and the importance of psychological safety. Professor Rubulotta shares her thoughts on why diverse teams matter, why sponsorship can be more powerful than mentorship, and how medicine must move away from outdated expectations that ask clinicians to behave like machines rather than human beings.

What follows is an honest, thoughtful and deeply personal conversation about the realities of working in modern healthcare, the courage it takes to ask for help, and the responsibility we all have to lift others as we climb.

In this episode, we explore the profound experiences and perspectives of Doris Doberenz, a senior neuro-intensive care consultant at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

In this episode of the Ranting Doctor podcast, Lubaina Bahar engages in a heartfelt conversation with Dr. Deeksha Dhameja, exploring the complexities of living as an international medical graduate, a parent, and a neurodivergent individual. They discuss the challenges of balancing professional and personal identities, the impact of societal expectations, and the importance of self-acceptance. Dr. Dhameja shares her journey of understanding neurodiversity, the exhaustion of masking, and her aspirations to create a kinder world through her initiative, Varymind. This episode is a reminder that life is messy, and it's okay to be a work in progress.

Takeaways

Life is messy and imperfect, and that's okay. Self-acceptance is crucial for personal growth. The journey of an IMG can be filled with unexpected challenges. Neurodiversity should be embraced, not stigmatized. Masking can be exhausting and detrimental to mental health. Curiosity is a key driver in understanding others. Creating inclusive spaces is essential for acceptance. Parenting requires immense patience and understanding. It's important to refill your energy and find joy in small things. Listening to others can be a powerful form of healing.

Takeaways

Pediatric death challenges traditional medical protocols. A good death in pediatrics is about moments and experiences. Family involvement is crucial in end-of-life decisions. Children's understanding of death varies; we must listen to them. Parents often feel guilt when making end-of-life decisions. Creating memories is vital for families during this time. Support from the healthcare team is essential for families. The emotional impact of a child's death affects the entire unit. Small acts of kindness can leave lasting impressions on families. Ongoing support for families is necessary long after the loss.

Takeaways

Dr. Acharya's journey into ENT was serendipitous, stemming from a desire to pursue neurosurgery. He emphasizes the importance of mentorship and teaching in surgical practice. Work-life balance in medicine is fluid and requires flexibility. Patient care is a privilege, and Dr. Acharya strives to do a good job for his patients. He believes in treating every patient as if they were a family member. Dr. Acharya values the relationships he has with anesthetists and intensivists, highlighting the importance of teamwork. He acknowledges the challenges faced by female colleagues in medicine and advocates for understanding and support. The NHS is facing significant challenges, and a reset may be necessary to ensure sustainability. Technology has the potential to improve efficiency in medicine, but clinicians must be involved in its development. Dr. Acharya aims to lead by example rather than manage, fostering a collaborative environment. 

This episode wasn’t an interview. It wasn’t a debate. It was a real, unguarded conversation between two women who have lived medicine from very different angles and survived it with humour, grit, culture, and (obviously) red lipstick intact. 💄

I sat down with Hannah Brew - GP, mother, Maverick Med host, and a woman living unapologetically with myasthenia gravis. What followed was honest, funny, uncomfortable in places, and deeply affirming.

We talked about:

• 🩺 The emotional cost of medicine in ICU and in primary care

• 🔥 Being “tough on the outside, soft on the inside” as a survival strategy

• 👩🏽‍⚕️ Sexism in medical training (yes, even in 2022 - yes, said out loud)

• 🤍 Pain, childbirth, and why women - especially women of colour - are still not believed

• 👑 Powerful women, culture, identity, and showing up fully as yourself

• 💄 Why a red lipstick is sometimes better than a motivational quote

Some lines that stayed with me:

“I’m not nice. I’m kind. And there’s a difference.”

“You can’t give what you don’t have emotionally, spiritually, or mentally.”

“Anything people do when they’re drunk, I do it sober.”

“Nice girls don’t get corner office is my one recommended book for all girls.”

Power doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like boundaries. Sometimes it looks like humour. Sometimes it looks like showing up exactly as you are culture, illness, softness, strength and all.

If you care about:

• women in medicine

• leadership without pretending

• culture, confidence, and calling out nonsense

• or just listening to two doctors tell the truth

🎧 This episode is for you.

Let me know what line hit you hardest.

Ankur has been a certified badass since medical school - breaking every stereotype of the “typical Indian doctor.” He likes glitter, has an endearingly odd fashion sense (that I used to hate), somehow makes time for absolutely everything, and treats medicine almost like a hobby he just happens to be outrageously good at. Brutal honesty is his native language; he says the things everyone else only thinks, and that’s exactly what makes this conversation spark.

We wander through his journey from medical school chaos to becoming a critical care specialist, complete with tales of hospital politics, early-days anaesthesia boredom, and the fierce importance of seniors who believe in you before you believe in yourself.

He celebrates teamwork, leading by example, and the friendships that become life’s backbone. Travel, he says, is his power bank. Leadership? It demands owning both your heroic wins and your glorious blunders.

He doesn’t stop at medicine. We dive into how social media shapes opinions (and how trolls accidentally help build character), why Gujarat’s medical tourism is booming, and why India - with all its madness and magic - is still a land of opportunity for young doctors willing to stay, grow, and get their hands a little dirty.

From political takes to personal confessions, from philosophy to pure comedy, this episode feels like eavesdropping on two old friends who forgot the mic was on - and that’s precisely why it hits so well.

Tune in with your glass of Prosecco or Desi Daru!!

Today on The Good Death Project, I sit down with someone who has spent nearly three decades at the sharp edge of life and the quiet edge of death. Nick,  an Intensive Care consultant with 28 years under his belt , has seen more final moments than he ever expected when he first donned his stethoscope. And yet, his reflections aren’t bleak. They’re honest, unflinching, and strangely hopeful.

In this conversation, we drift through the meaning of a life well-lived, what a good death looks like in the real world (not the tidy version TV keeps lying to us about), and why doctors sometimes dodge the very conversations patients need most. Nick talks openly about losing his father at 21, the emotional fallout he boxed away for decades, the quiet wisdom his children already hold about mortality, and the moral knots clinicians face every day in the NHS.

He speaks with humour, with candour, and with that particular ICU-honed clarity that slices through the noise: information is love, choice is dignity, and honesty is the beginning of a better death.

This is a conversation for anyone who has ever wondered what happens behind the curtains of intensive care, why we’re all terrified of talking about the inevitable, and how we might reclaim agency over our final chapter.

Tune in. Bring a warm drink. Bring an open heart. And maybe you’ll leave a little less afraid of the thing we all share.

In this episode of The Good Death Project, we meet Ms. Catherine Beddows, Lead Nurse for Follow-Up Support Services at the Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital, Birmingham. Catherine is not only a dear friend but also one of those rare souls who truly listen long after the machines are silent and the ICU doors have closed.

With her brilliant team, she supports patients as they navigate life beyond critical illness helping them piece together fragmented memories, face the flashbacks, and rebuild both body and mind. Because for an ICU survivor, discharge is never the finish line -it’s the beginning of a marathon. And their families run it too.

In this deeply moving conversation, Catherine shares the personal experiences that have shaped her compassion and her understanding of what it means to heal not just medically, but emotionally and spiritually. She speaks candidly about how we can make end-of-life care gentler, clearer, and more human for patients and their loved ones. Above all, she reminds us that early, honest communication isn’t just good practice - it’s an act of kindness. 

The Good Death Project: My Conversation with Nicola

In this episode, I sit down with Nicola, a clinical psychologist in intensive care. She shares how she helps patients, families, and ICU staff cope with life, death, and everything in between. We talk about what a “good death” might look like, how grief is really lived, and the unseen emotional weight carried by those on the front line. It’s an honest, moving conversation about resilience, compassion, and the humanity at the heart of dying.

And so did #TheGoodDeathProject

Before I set out to explore society’s views on life and death, I wanted to first understand my own family’s.

So one fine day, I sat my brother (a non-medic) and my sister-in-law (a medic) down and asked them the same questions about death and dying.

The contrast was fascinating. Their answers revealed subtle differences, but also striking overlaps, reminding me that no two people ever see death in quite the same way.

What emerged was more than just a family conversation.

It was a window into the values, experiences, and beliefs that shape how we think about a “good life” and a “good death.” These insights felt deeply relatable, not just to me, but to society at large.

Tune in to hear two young voices reflect on life, loss, and everything in between.

• Good life is about consciousness and decision-making.
• Good death involves minimal suffering for the patient and family.
• Cultural perspectives shape our understanding of death.
• Death is often beyond our control, unlike life.
• Personal experiences with death can trigger reflections on mortality.
• Talking about death is culturally accepted in some societies.
• End-of-life care needs improvement in hospitals.
• Emotional impact is significant when delivering bad news.
• Advanced directives are important but often overlooked.
• Euthanasia poses ethical concerns regarding patient vulnerability.

But between the giggles, we touched on some serious stuff— 🧠 Mental health in frontline medicine 🧘‍♀️ Why Pilates email invites don’t really cut it for ED well-being 🛒 Our shared love for the Tesco Till Ladies (and how we’d happily trade jobs with them in an alternate universe)

Rabia runs the Sakinah Helpline for Women and is a fierce advocate for mental health and therapy. She’s also one of those annoyingly gorgeous people who look amazing in literally anything—and yes, she’s the one who introduced me to bold matte lipsticks at work. Game changer.

Catch the episode—it’s raw, hilarious, and just the right amount of real. 💜
