From Navy SEAL to Doctor
Manage episode 421352857 series 3577582
I’m a firm believer that there is unique strength found in diversity, and that likewise, the same can be said of a diverse background.
Which is why it was my pleasure to chat with Dr Rich Greiner of Bridgeport Hospital. Rich is a former Navy SEAL platoon commander turned emergency room physician. So, of course, I had to inquire as to what led him on that journey and what, if anything, was learned along the way.
Not to my surprise, his experiences have taught him quite a bit!
We discussed how having a military background informs and empowers his decision-making abilities in the ER, and even how his involvement in Yancy Forums positively impacts his life as an emergency physician.
Below is a beat-by-beat breakdown of our conversation:
