Dr. Gupta: A Doctor. His Tumor. A New Perspective.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta: A Doctor. His Brain Tumor. A New Perspective.

March 7, 2025

What can a doctor learn from becoming a patient? That’s what Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, a surgeon and president-elect of the American Medical Association, set his mind on when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year. Dr. Sanjay Gupta sits down with his old friend, before and after surgery, to see what Mukkamala’s experience taught him about U.S. healthcare being on the other side of the stethoscope.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta is an outstanding healthcare keynote speaker who blends his medical expertise with his journalist ability to tell compelling, real-world stories that make complex healthcare issues accessible to all audiences. His podcast conversation with Dr. Bobby Mukkamala exemplifies this skill as he explores the emotional and practical challenges of navigating the healthcare system from a patient’s perspective. By shedding light on these critical experiences, Gupta provides valuable insights into the gaps in U.S. healthcare, the importance of empathy in medicine, and the need for systemic improvements—making him a powerful voice for any healthcare event.
