In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Brian Gans, a very talented palliative care doctor, to discuss his unique perspective on the field, the emotional toll from his work, and his creative outlet in yoga and art. We also explore the rewards of working in palliative care and the importance of effective communication and teamwork in providing quality care. Finally, we discuss some misconceptions surrounding palliative care, ethics, and the future of palliative care. Join us as we gain a new perspective on this critical field of medicine.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
