Originally Published April 12, 2022. Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Theresa Brown,New York Times best-selling author of The Shift, to share her experience as a nurse, and then unexpectedly finding herself on the other side—as a cancer patient. This transformative experience gave her a profound perspective on healthcare’s strengths and shortcomings, particularly regarding compassion and patient care.
Theresa discusses how her own medical journey revealed the need for better empathy and attentiveness within the healthcare system. She emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy for patients and offers insights for healthcare workers on balancing compassionate care with self-care. Her wisdom and experience resonate as she highlights small, yet impactful ways healthcare professionals and patients alike can advocate for change and support healing on all sides.
Theresa Brown, RN, author of the New York Times bestseller The Shift, has been a contributor to the New York Times. Her writing appears on CNN.com and in the American Journal of Nursing, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. She has been a guest on MSNBC Live and NPR’s Fresh Air. Her first book was Critical Care, and during what she calls her past life, she received a PhD in English from the University of Chicago. She lectures nationally and internationally on issues related to nursing, health care, and end of life.
