Like Mother, Like Daughter: Discover the...

Jeremy Stanley
About this episode

In this heartfelt episode of Beyond The Mask, a story of unique dynamics when working alongside family in the world of anesthesia comes to life. Jeremy and Sharon sit down with a remarkable mother-daughter duo, Melody Secrest and Emily King, both CRNAs, who share their experiences working in the same hospital department. We uncover the challenges and triumphs that come with balancing professional boundaries and personal relationships in the operating room.

Discover how Melody and Emily navigate their careers while supporting each other, and how they've managed to maintain their individual identities as healthcare professionals. Their story is a testament to the strength and resilience of family bonds in the face of demanding careers.

This episode is not just a conversation; it’s a celebration of the ties that bind in the world of anesthesia. Join us for an episode that goes beyond the professional mask to reveal the personal connections that enrich the CRNA community.

 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • The journey of transitioning from individual careers to working as a family unit.
  • Strategies for maintaining professionalism while working with relatives.
  • The impact of family dynamics on patient care and team interactions.
  • The importance of forging one's own path and identity within the same profession as a parent.
