About this listen

Welcome to We are Human, the podcast that dives deep into the lives of those who work in medicine—but don't let medicine define them. Each week, we bring you stories from healthcare professionals who share their journeys, the struggles they've faced, the victories they’ve celebrated, and, most importantly, the ways they stay well outside the world of medicine. Because while medicine is a big part of what we do, it's not all of who we are.

  • The Art of Staying Whole in Medicine with Andy Nguyen, MD
    Jun 12 2025

    In this episode of We Are Human, we sit down with Dr. Andy Nguyen — anesthesia resident by day, media creative by night — to talk about what it really takes to hold on to your humanity during medical training. Andy gets real about the highs, lows, and everything in between: the grueling hours, the emotional toll, and why keeping your creative spark alive outside the hospital isn’t just nice — it’s necessary.

    We dive into the role that storytelling, passion projects, and genuine patient connection play in keeping us grounded, especially during the chaos of residency. This one’s for anyone who's ever wondered how to stay true to themselves in a system that often asks you to be anything but.

  • A Novel Prescription: Art, Adolescence, Mental Health & Freeze Frame
    Jun 5 2025

    In this episode, we dive into the creative process behind Freeze Frame, the YA novel by Dr. Tyler Beauchamp—written while he was still in medical school and re-released this week under the Hippocratic Press. Tyler shares what it was like to balance the intensity of med school with the emotional weight of writing a story about trauma, grief, and identity. We talk about the power of fiction to reach young readers navigating isolation and mental health struggles, and how storytelling became Tyler’s outlet through it all.

    This conversation is about more than publishing a book—it’s about finding your voice, honoring your creativity, and carving out space for the things that matter, even in the most demanding chapters of life.
