Following Your Heart with Dr. Patrick Lawler
What does it take to build a life in medicine that spans continents, disciplines, and generations?
In this episode of Doctors Unscripted, host Dr. Nadia Giannetti, Cardiologist and Associate Physician-in-Chief at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), sits down with Dr. Patrick Lawler, a cardiologist and critical care physician whose path to medicine began in Boston.
From his Fulbright scholarship at Sweden’s world-renowned Karolinska Institute, to medical school at McGill University, and advanced training at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dr. Lawler’s career has been defined by curiosity, excellence, and a deep commitment to patient care.
Together, Dr. Giannetti and Dr. Lawler explore how early influences shaped his approach to medicine, the pivotal choices that guided his training, and what it’s like to balance a demanding career in cardiology with family life alongside his wife, who herself is a pediatric cardiologist.
