I Was Wrong." Dr. Saadi's article hit home with me as my wife is a nurse and I am, unfortunately, very familiar with hearing stories of patients making racist and Islamophobic remarks. Dr. Saadi joins me this episode to share her experiences as a Muslim in the healthcare field as well as tips for other professionals facing racism, bigotry in the work place.
