In this very special start to Season 3, Lorena sits down with renowned surgical oncologist, tenured professor, and personal friend, Dr. Nancy Perrier. They discuss their own relationship starting with Lorena’s consulting visits to Houston and how the doctor-patient relationship truly can be a sacred bond. She goes on to emphasize the need for doctors to avoid 'White Coat' syndrome by connecting with their patients as people first rather than just viewing them as problems to be solved. Lorena asks about the makings of a good doctor and Dr. Perrier shines a light on the need for mental health awareness in the medical community.
