Brain Club®: The Podcast - S1E12 - Masking in Healthcare

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-qa2uf-... What does the healthcare system demand from neurodivergent clinicians — and what does that cost everyone? In this episode of Brain Club®: The Podcast, neurodivergent clinicians talk openly about masking in healthcare — not from the patient side, but from inside the system itself. We talk about the pressure to perform professionalism, the internalized ableism that leads clinicians to ignore their own needs and limits, and the fear of disclosing disability or struggle in environments that punish it. Clinicians are also patients. These aren't separate groups. And the system that harms patients is the same one extracting that cost from the people working within it. This conversation was originally recorded as part of All Brains Belong's Brain Club® — a weekly community education program focused on demonstrating neuroinclusive culture in action. Panelists: Sierra Miller, DNP APRNIrene Krechetoff, DO"Heater" Thompson, DC Brain Club is not medical advice or a support group — it's an invitation to think differently about health, connection, and how we build systems that include everyone.
