On today's episode, I talk with Erika Olson about her kidney stones, hypertension, and how she's navigated living a full live (business school! climbing Mt Kilamanjaro!) with chronic illnesses. In addition, the etiology of Erika's illnesses is largely not understood, and we talk about the emotions surrounding feeling like your body has let you down and isn't sending you the "danger" signals it normally should when you're sick. Erika has given me a lot of good insight from the patient perspective as I've gone from medical student to doctor. I hope you learn from her, as well!
