from Unspoken · host Kate

In this compelling spoken-word poem, a pediatric ICU nurse practitioner explores her personal experience with moral injury in healthcare, vividly recounting her struggle within a prestigious big-city hospital—the so-called “best in the world.” She courageously confronts the conflict between institutional expectations and her ethical convictions, exposing how healthcare systems can compromise compassion and integrity. This episode highlights the concept of moral injury, a deep emotional wound caused by facing choices that violate one’s conscience. A must-listen for healthcare workers, nurses, and anyone who has grappled with ethical challenges and moral distress at work.Copyright ©2025 Kate Earley Music: Idea 25 by Gibran Alcocer & Andrea Vanzo
