Let Me Spiral: Recent Episodes
Tanvi Padhye
Hey! I'm Tanvi, and I'm using this podcast to justify talking to myself. I research currently relevant topics that interest me and I present them to you. I love researching, and I am very passionate about people learning to research on their own and independently reach educated decisions. So I'll make sure to explain my thought process and we'll learn a thing or two along the way.
This episode I talk about biases in medicine - the prevalence of racial, gender and weight biases in healthcare and the impacts it may have on patients. I share my encounters with this subject as a medical student and a hopeful outlook for the future to change the current situation.
