Should Your Doctor Have Tried Psychedelics?
Before I became a doctor, I had certain experiences that hinted at our mind’s true potential.
In this video Tom and I discuss my early experiences with psychedelics and whether they’re applicable to all who might choose a career in medicine. I talk about how this led me to a fascination with consciousness, more sustainable meditation practices, and a feeling that medicine might have “hit the wall” when it comes to reductionist approaches to disease complexes such as mental illness.
