Ep 15: When Doctor Becomes Patient

Ed on ED Podcast
What happens when a doctor becomes sick? What happens when a doctor develops an eating disorder? What particular struggles arise when ‘experts’ on the human body are suddenly at its mercy? In this episode of Ed on Ed, Dr. Ed shares the true stories of two doctors who developed eating disorders. Our hosts discuss how the demanding environment of medical residency is fertile ground for disordered eating, and how being an ‘expert’ on something can actually lead one to hide or deny their pain because they think they should ‘know better.’
