Join us in this insightful episode as we sit down with Isabelle Tran, a medical student and writer, to explore the intersection of technology and health. Inspired by her poem “AI Ally,” Isabelle delves into the emotional journey of patients receiving a serious diagnosis like thyroid cancer. We discuss how AI and search engines can be both a lifeline and a source of anxiety, the balance between digital and human support, and the role of narrative medicine in understanding patient experiences.

Isabelle Tran is a medical student.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “A modern tale of thyroid cancer: AI, haikus, and healing.”
