What happens when the system meant to protect the most vulnerable starts failing them? In this episode of Too Curious MDs, Dr. Farah Karipineni joins us on the podcast again to unpack the devastating impact of Medicaid cuts and reveals what we need to address today’s healthcare crisis. This is more than a healthcare discussion—it’s a rallying cry for collective action, empathy, and systemic change.
Dr. Farah Karipineni is an endocrine surgeon, writer, and associate professor at UCSF Fresno whose work lives at the intersection of medicine, narrative, and justice. A graduate in comparative literature turned physician, she brings the sensibilities of a storyteller to the operating room and the classroom, centering empathy, presence, and the human experience in every encounter. As a mother of three and a woman of color in surgery, Dr. Karipineni speaks with bold clarity about the emotional toll of medicine, the beauty of bearing witness, and the radical act of choosing joy in a system that often dehumanizes both patient and provider. Through her writing and advocacy, she champions a more compassionate, inclusive, and reflective model of healing
