About this listen

This week, I’m joined by nurse practitioner Margaret Decker for a conversation about the role of love and community in modern medicine. We talk about what it means to show up for people—not just as professionals, but as humans—especially in moments of illness, aging, and death. We explore how belief, religion, and ideology intersect with science in clinical settings, and how the fear of liability can quietly distort what care is meant to be. Margaret shares how she approaches her work as something more than a job—as a kind of communal presence that extends beyond any single patient interaction.
