B&B Ep.02 | Peter Sacci, MD - Shut Down: How an ER Doctor Kept Going When His Hospital Didn't

When a hospital closes for good, what happens to the doctors, and the patients left behind? Peter Sacci, MD, a San Diego-based Emergency Medicine physician, shares his extraordinary experience training during the abrupt closure of Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the middle of his residency, the hospital unexpectedly shut down, displacing trainees and leaving an entire community without a critical source of emergency care. Dr. Sacci takes us inside what it was like to navigate residency through uncertainty, adapt when the system failed, and continue showing up for patients during one of the most disruptive events a training program can face. This is an untold story about resilience in medicine, the fragility of healthcare systems, and what it truly means to train as a physician when the ground shifts beneath you.
