Medical Honesty, Driving, and the Fear of Losing Independence

from Thoughts While Surviving Chronic Illness: Ramblings From a Chef Whose Body Constantly Rebels · host Tate Basildon

In this episode, I talk about a driver’s license renewal that turned into an unexpected panic at the DMV. One question on one form forced me to think about my AICD, heart medication, and the fear of losing the independence I count on every day. I’m looking at medical honesty, the cost of disclosure, and what happens when protecting my health suddenly feels tangled up with protecting my freedom.This podcast is narrated using an AI voice.
