Together, they explore the power of empathy in medicine, the emotional weight physicians carry, and why every patient deserves to be treated as a person—not just a diagnosis. The conversation also takes a thoughtful look at one of the most challenging areas of modern healthcare: Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Dr. Weinberg explains why personalized medical cannabis may help improve quality of life for some patients, ease caregiver burden, and why ongoing research is helping physicians better understand who may benefit from individualized treatment.
