What a beautiful show. Often it feels like medicine gets too much credit, but The Nocturnists made me feel like it gets too little.
As a chaplain whose hope it is to see a gentler and kinder medicine emerge from our broken system, these stories are like little cups of cold water in the desert.
Your beautiful podcast has helped me to understand the scope and scale of emotions that everyone around me has been enduring [during COVID-19]. I owe you so much gratitude. We’re using the podcast to launch reflective writing exercises with the residents, and it is so anchoring and lovely and meaningful. I honestly don’t have words for how much we needed this.
I am so grateful for your work. Always relevant, thoughtful, inspiring. I am a public health pediatrician and writer, among other things. This podcast feels like home.
