Episode #133: Breaking silence & finding rhythm in medicine! [Dr. Gizelka David-West & Dr. Adrienne Towsen]

from Stand Up for Doctors!

In this episode of Stand Up for Doctors!, I’m honored to welcome Dr. Gizelka David-West, a gynecologic oncologist, lead singer of the band N.E.D. (No Evidence of Disease), and my own surgeon, alongside Dr. Adrienne Towsen, an orthopedic surgeon and international ballroom dancer, who recently stepped away from clinical practice.This conversation is especially meaningful as we record during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. David-West shares how her music is helping to break the silence surrounding gynecologic cancers and give women a voice in their healing journey. Dr. Towsen reflects on how the discipline and artistry of ballroom dancing continue to shape her path in medicine and beyond.👉 Tune in now to hear how two doctors are raising their voices and finding new rhythms both inside and outside of medicine!
