How the American healthcare system failed one of its own... with Steven Aussenberg, MD - a podcast by Annie Hopkins, PT, RYT
from 2020-07-11T17:00
**Trigger Warning: pregnancy loss**
When my friend Steven heard about this podcast, he reached out to share his story about the pregnancy journey he and his wife Robyn went through. Sadly, the difficulties that he and his wife faced are not uncommon. As I listened to his story, the I kept thinking that if this is the experience of a White, male physician... it makes sense why America's maternal mortality rates are the highest in the developed world and the only country to see these numbers continue to rise. We also talk about how poorly medical residents are treated during residency, why America needs paid parental leave, the difficulties of breastfeeding, and the struggle with postpartum isolation for new families. Steven also shares a bit about how these experiences have influenced how he practices as a Family Physician, and how he is still optimistic about the future of medicine.
