The Skinny Confidential Him And Her ShowAbout this episode
#650: Today, we're sitting down with John Lawrence, author of the series 'Playing Doctor.' John attended Georgetown University where he told his career advisor that the only thing he did not want to be was a doctor. He subsequently survived medical school and residency training in Utah and practiced for over 20 years before transitioning to becoming a writer, where he shares his best and scariest moments from practicing. Today, we sit down for a conversation about all things medical school, what happens behind the scenes in hospitals, and how he transitioned to becoming a writer. He also puts on his white coat again and gives us a few tips on when you should take your children to the ER, why overprescribing pain meds has become such a large issue in the US, and gives us a peek into teaching hospitals and what you should know about them.
