Lisa Doggett Shares a Physician's Perspective on Living with Chronic Illness

Sarah and Laura discuss some challenges related to seeking routine healthcare. Then, Sarah interviews Dr. Lisa Doggett -- a family physician with years of experienced caring for undeserved populations. When her youngest child was just 2, Lisa became ill with multiple sclerosis. She discusses how she navigated this difficult path, including how her perspectives on our health care system were shaped by her experiences.

Dr. Lisa Doggett's book is called Up the Down Escalator, and it was just released this August. It can be found here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Up-the-Down-Escalator/Lisa-Doggett/9780757324864

In the Q&A, a listener writes in wondering whether she should leave her current role which was provides great "balance" but has not felt challenging or interesting enough.
