About this listen

It’s not every day that you meet someone brave enough to stand against the crowd. Dr. K, head of the ICU at Ottawa Hospital, took a powerful stand during the pandemic — one that prioritized the mental health of children, even when it went against popular opinion.

What followed was horrific: public shaming, intense criticism, and even threats directed at his own family. Yet, knowing in his heart that he was acting in alignment with his values — and for the greater good — he stood firm, supported by a strong and courageous community, even as his professional reputation hung in the balance.

After enduring the darkest and most isolating period of his life, Dr. K rose from the ashes. He has since stepped into a vital leadership role in medicine, working closely with political decision-makers to reshape the Canadian healthcare system.

His mission? To help individuals shift from prescription to prevention — a movement that’s now gaining real momentum, and earning the respect it deserves.
