Medicine, Reflections, and the experience of being Human

This space brings together medical thinking, essays, and creative work — where medicine meets writing, and sometimes steps aside to let it speak.

Essays published every Thursday. Alternate Sundays feature one-minute articles in The Unprescribed.

Thoughtful writing on health and medicine, welcoming anyone interested in understanding the body, the mind, and everyday medical questions.

Reflective writing that lingers on mental heath, lived experience, social realities, and the quiet work of becoming human.

Published and collaborative books, anthologies, poetry, and longer pieces of writing shaped by curiosity and storytelling.

Invited talks with students and instititions on emotional well-being, stress management, and balancing life, work and personal passions.

Mini-articles exploring thoughts, habits, and quiet practices prescribed by a doctor for everyday well-being, beyond the prescription pad.
