What does it take to push the boundaries of pulmonary medicine while balancing the realities of life outside the hospital?

In this episode of Doctors Unscripted, host Dr. Nadia Giannetti, Cardiologist and Associate-Physician-in-Chief at the MUHC, sits down with Dr. Anne Gonzalez, a pulmonary and critical care physician at the McGill University Health Centre. With advanced training in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, as well as Interventional Pulmonary Medicine, Dr. Gonzalez’s work focuses on the investigation of patients with lung cancer, from first suspicions to treatment decisions, and the evaluation of novel interventional techniques such as advanced bronchoscopy and pleural procedures.

Together, Dr. Giannetti and Dr. Gonzalez explore the pivotal choices that shape a medical career, from deciding whether to head straight to med school or pursue further education, to staying at the forefront of innovation in pulmonary care. Dr. Gonzalez also shares her perspective on balancing clinical practice with family life, and why that balance often looks different for women in medicine.

If you’re curious about the cutting edge of pulmonary care, the sacrifices behind a doctor’s path, and the human side of life in medicine, this candid conversation is for you.
