Ready to get a firsthand look at the roller coaster of emotions that is life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit?
Join me as I sit down with Dr. Susan Landers, a seasoned neonatologist and author who takes us through her thrilling 34-year career.
In her book So Many Babies, My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career & Motherhood, Dr. Landers delves into the pressure and teamwork intrinsic to this medical field and navigates stories of her most memorable patients and their parents, including a set of triplets and a baby with an inoperable birth defect.
Dr. Landers also opens up about her journey as a working mother in a demanding field, the balancing act she performed between her career and family life, the challenge of being a female physician, and her approach to approaching retirement are all laid bare.
This episode offers a rare peek into the world of neonatology and the highs and lows of working motherhood.
