Namaste: and welcome to The Humanities in Medicine Podcast Experience. I am your host, visionary, and producer: Dr. Watson. Over twenty years ago, I found myself facing a conundrum in my dealings inside the medical community as a medical student, surgical house officer, and later physician. I observed health care inequities at every level, with oftentimes blatantly horrible aberrations being committed against patients and communities of color, or BIPOC.

Religion is often associated with control and dominance. We’re interested instead in creating an open space for listening-in and coexistence. This podcast will clear a space, put down a cushion, and offer podcast visitors a chance to listen in on the stories of Islam’s prophets and how they might see the world today.
