Podcast Description:

Dr Sharma has a candid, reflective conversation with Shannon Thomas, CEO of Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, CA, and the wife of Dr. Ronnie Mimran – a beloved physician and highly skilled neurosurgeon known for his patient care and bedside manner. Dr Mimran is living with glioblastoma; he was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. We discuss her perspective as not only a caregiver but a nurse and healthcare executive, and what they have learned on this journey.
