What happens when a top physician suddenly becomes the
patient? Our guest today, Dr. Bryant Lin, holds an extraordinary
background: a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford, primary care
physician, educator, researcher, and an MIT-trained engineer who
specialized in cardiac electrophysiology and health technology. Dr. Lin has
dedicated his career to addressing human-centered needs in healthcare.
But he never imagined he would experience those needs from the other
side of the bed, until receiving a diagnosis of Stage IV lung cancer.
In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Lin shares his journey through biomarker
testing, treatment side effects, disease progression, and the realities of
receiving a terminal diagnosis, openly, with warmth, humor and hope. He
turned his personal experience as a lung cancer patient into a lesson on
compassionate care for medical. He also wrote an important and reflective
book, “Sunshine: An Exploration of Living While You are Dying”, a must-
read guide on finding hope and making the absolute most of life.
Don’t miss this inspiring conversation on finding hope, purpose, and
joy every day.
