From Surgeon to Patient: Fighting Drug-Resistant TB and Running Again | Dr. Glenn Geelhoed
About this episode
Dr. Glenn Geelhoed shares his journey from being a surgeon to becoming a patient battling drug-resistant tuberculosis while maintaining his identity as a runner.
After decades of caring for patients in underserved communities around the world, Dr. Glenn Geelhoed suddenly became the patient. A diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis forced him to stop running, miss his 50th Marine Corps Marathon, and endure months of difficult treatment. But he never stopped seeing himself as a runner. “It’s not the finish line. It’s the run. It’s called living.” #DrugResistantTB #Tuberculosis #RunningMotivation #MarathonRunner #GlobalHealth #MissionToHeal #Resilience #PhysicianStories #Healthcare #LebanesePhysiciansPodcast #youtubeshorts On YouTube @thelebanesephysicianspodcast and on all podcast apps
