What does a childhood spent sewing Vogue patterns at the Grand Canyon have to do with mastering the delicate art of surgery? In this inspiring episode, host Rebecca Dhrimaj sits down with former surgeon, author, and healthcare visionary Dr. Robin Blackstone to trace the remarkable arc of her career—from standing toe-to-toe with surgical legend Michael DeBakey to leading major surgical departments during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Blackstone opens up about the emotional toll of a broken healthcare system driven by episodic, money-based productivity rather than genuine human outcomes. Now, as the author of Doctor AI, she is on a mission to ignite a global movement toward preventive, personalized care—proving that true healing isn't just about rescuing patients when they fall, but building a world where health is our natural baseline.
