10 | Dr Haidar Al-Hakim | Growing up Mixed Race & Medical

Dr Haidar Al-Hakim is an ophthalmologist, psychotherapist and host of "The Surgical Spirit" Podcast, which explores the borderlands between medicine, wellbeing and psychology.   In this jointly hosted podcast conversation, Haidar and I talk about our experiences growing up caught between two cultures, Islamic and Western, the guilt of privilege, the phenomenon of physician burnout and its relationship to purpose, whether evidence based medicine is politically driven, and the limits and strengths of evidence-based medicine as it is currently practiced. // Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rhQJqBi-aRk // About the host Dr Zack Hassan is a junior doctor, specialising in Internal Medicine in Edinburgh, Scotland.
