Scrub Talk
Scrub Talk is a storytelling podcast that lifts the veil on modern healthcare through unfiltered conversations with the people who live it every day. From certified medical assistants and pharmacy techs to nurses, physicians, and patients, host Dominick Ramos brings lived experience, sharp insight, and deep empathy to the mic.
Each episode is a window into what it really takes to hold the system together—from the overlooked to the overwhelmed. We talk burnout, bureaucracy, joy, injustice, and what it means to care in a world that doesn’t always care back.
Whether you work in scrubs, support someone who does, or just want to understand the human side of medicine, Scrub Talk is for you.

This Is Where the Healing Begins: An Introduction to Scrub Talk
In this very first episode of Scrub Talk, I draw from my experiences in pharmacy, surgery, ENT, and radiation oncology to kick off a podcast that isn’t just about healthcare—it’s about the people holding it together.
Scrubs are more than just a uniform. They carry trust, quiet connection, and the weight of showing up for others—even when we’re struggling inside. This episode is part origin story, part reflection. I talk about the emotional cost of care, the burnout so many of us are feeling, and the systems that often forget the humanity behind the work.
I also share why storytelling matters—how it helps us make sense of the chaos, stay grounded, and reconnect with our “why.” Scrub Talk is for anyone who’s ever worn scrubs, worked beside someone who does, or simply wondered what it feels like to be on the frontlines of modern healthcare.
This isn’t just my story—it’s ours.
And this is where the healing begins.
