#154: Jeremy Jonas Quit Working & Went to Ukraine to Help
from The Galina Rivina Podcastina · host Galina Rivina Podcastina
What happens when a board-certified anesthesiologist quits pain management after 10 years, then volunteers in Ukraine during wartime? In this wide ranging conversation, comedian Jeremy Jonas shares about the psychological cost of medicine, psychopathic surgeons he's worked alongside, what it’s like to try and not take work home with you, why he decided to step away and go to Ukraine twice to help patients, what it was like getting thrown in the deep end with Ukrainian food and culture, and what it's really like running clinics near active shelling in Ukraine. Plus: AI taking white-collar jobs, tech feudalism, body positivity vs. medical reality, the addiction of screen time, and why we're all romanticizing writing letters to strangers, and much more.
