Show Notes

Maryl Sackeim, MD wrote a personal perspective on the imperfection of childbirth in 2019. This written piece inspired the conversation with Gynocurious about the false expectations and narratives medicine has shared with women and their families about childbirth. She discusses the individual journeys of childbirth and illness and reviews the importance of speaking openly and honestly about all possible outcomes. Dr. Sackeim shares with us how she uses empathy and open conversations about her own life experiences (with patients) to help create improved relationships and to have patients as partners in their healing journeys.
