How do we rebuild trust in a world where faith in institutions—and the experts behind them—has crumbled for valid reasons?
In this episode, I sit down with ER doctor Dr. Halfdan Bau-Madsen for an unfiltered look at modern medicine: where it’s broken, where it still saves lives, and how truth and transparency can restore trust.
We tackle the moral dilemmas doctors face when speaking out could cost everything, Big Pharma’s influence, how the job takes its toll, and raw stories from the ER—including the night Halfdan was held at knife point.
If you’ve ever questioned the healthcare system and want a doctor’s honest perspective on informed choice and bodily autonomy, this episode is for you.
Welcome to episode nine.
