I’ve started a podcast, and you can really help by giving it a rating and review on iTunes, as my friend Dr. Leslie Kernisan just did!
Fantastic much-needed information to help people get better healthcare ★★★★★
by Leslie Kernisan
I’ve long been an admirer of E-patient Dave’s commitment to helping patients and health providers work together better. Great to see him finally spreading the word about participatory medicine via a podcast! I’m a doctor and will be recommending this much-needed podcast to patients and others.
Why do I ask this? Because when people go searching for podcasts on iTunes (the mega-granddaddy of all podcast places), the best search ranking goes to podcasts with lots of good reviews. You can help!
I’ve created a podcast page on my website – here’s what it says, at the moment. All feedback welcome – what do you want to hear about?? Leave a comment!
A grass roots podcast about getting the care you need for yourself and your family
When I was diagnosed as almost dead from Stage IV cancer, my doctor sent me to the internet to connect with other patients like me, while I waited for treatment. They told me, “You picked best year ever to get sick,” and they were right: medicine today saves more lives than ever. That’s why we have more old people than ever!
Yet at the same time, too often the system falls short. That gap is where you can make a difference, by learning what’s worth knowing, and knowing what’s worth doing. When it comes to your health and your care, knowledge really is power – and that’s what this podcast is for.

The best of global health conversations –
with a “what should I do?” patient point of view
After years of traveling to hundreds of events around the world as a cancer survivor lecturing about healthcare, I’ve seen and heard thousands of views, and developed a few opinions of my own. Now it’s time to reach out and share at the grass roots level. So in addition to speeches, articles, books and fellowships, I’m reaching out to the general public – the consumer, the health citizen – with a new message targeted not to health professionals but to the people in our neighborhoods, with a new podcast: The Power of the Patient.
Healthcare is saving more lives than ever – it’s the best year ever to get sick – yet sometimes the system drops the ball. That’s where you – the patient and family – can help healthcare achieve its potential by being informed, engaged, and empowered – an e-patient. Episode 1 introduces the series and begins teaching essential things every family should know.
Episodes
I won’t duplicate them here, beyond episode 1. The podcast page will have a running list, as will each of the podcast websites below.
- Episode 1: Introduction and my cancer story, and discovering I was an e-patient
- The introduction makes the point in this post: medicine is doing great things, but there are still lots of ways you can help.
- Regular readers will know much of the story, but this time I leave out most of the things I discuss with medical audiences.

Power of the Patient is hosted and produced by my friends at Touch-Point Media. I first met them through the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media, where good things happen including useful connections! And that’s social.
