Sunday Special 10 – “It Takes Courage to Do the Right Thing as a Physician” with Dr. K Kay Moody

Dr. K Kay Moody


Sunday Special 10 – I’m really pumped about today’s episode.  I feel like it’s wrong to have favorite podcast episodes, like you shouldn’t have favorite kids.  But, I’ll just say that this is one of the most inspiring conversations I’ve had on the sunday special yet.  Dr. K Kay Moody is an emergency medicine physician who’s had to overcome a lot of serious challenges. 

She’s battled hospital administrators who were making it harder to care for her patients.  She has battled leaders who wanted her to stay quiet instead of speaking out against bad practices.  And she’s dealt with people not taking her seriously because she’s a woman. 

Well, let me tell you, this conversation inspired me.  I want this discussion to give you courage.  If she can take a stand, then we all can.  God didn’t give us a spirit of timidity, but rather a spirit of power and love.  Dr. Moody has that in spades, and I think you’re really going to be inspired by her interview.
