Dr. Sunita Puri was raised in a spiritual family who taught her the significance of not only life, but of death. Now as a director of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship, she has spent an innumerable amount of hours helping terminally-ill patients and their family members make end-of-life decisions.

Dr. Puri outlines this intersection of her family’s spirituality and her medical career in her 2019 memoir “That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour”.

In episode 19 of Beyond the Prescription Dr. Puri and Dr. McBride blend their collective experiences as medical professionals into an insightful and honest discussion about the role of medicine in the quality and quantity of life.

Beyond the Prescription

Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical facts, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over what we can change.
