“You can worry when I’m worried.”

This is what the anesthesiology physician assistant said to my husband Tony Nelson (a board certified pediatric cardiologist) when he asked her about my falling blood pressure and oxygen saturation as I lay on the operating table after giving birth to our son via a complicated c-section.

“You’re just doing too much. Go home and rest and drink more water.”

This is what the nurse midwife said to me as I sat in the office telling her about my flank pain, high blood pressure and swelling feet, 6 days post partum.

“Well go to the hospital then since you’re soooo worried.”

This is what the on call OB/Gyn said to me when I told her about my headaches just a few hours after being treated for preeclampsia.

It’s one thing to study and work on health disparities. It’s another thing entirely to live them. And I am grateful that I lived through this.

We talk about my birth story and how Dr. Chowa saved my life when my OB dismissed my concerns, signs and symptoms of preeclampsia.

From there, we discuss gaps in our current model of healthcare and how to address them as well as Dr. Chowa’s personal meditation practice and how it helped her navigate divorce and being a front line provider during the COVID-19 pandemic.
