<description> &lt;p&gt;When the Doctor Becomes the Patient: Dr. Bryant Lin’s Journey&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In this episode, Soon Yu interviews Dr. Bryant Lin, a primary care physician at Stanford, who shares his compelling journey from doctor to patient. The discussion begins with Dr. Lin's professional background, including his pivotal role in founding the Center for Asian Health Research and Education (CARE) and his focus on lung cancer in the Asian community. The irony unfolds as Dr. Lin, who has been advocating for lung cancer research among non-smokers, particularly in the Asian population, is diagnosed with stage four non-small cell lung cancer himself. Despite the devastating diagnosis, Dr. Lin's story is one of resilience and hope. He emphasizes the importance of human connection in medicine, the impact of storytelling, and the role of hope in patient care. Dr. Lin also discusses his ongoing efforts to raise awareness and funding for early-stage lung cancer research and broader health initiatives in the Asian community. This episode is a powerful narrative of facing adversity with purpose, driving change, and finding serendipity in the most challenging circumstances.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;03:59 Dr. Lin's Diagnosis Journey&lt;br /&gt;07:35 Challenges in Healthcare Access&lt;br /&gt;13:37 Importance of Screening and Early Detection&lt;br /&gt;26:21 Impact on Dr. Lin's Perspective as a Physician&lt;br /&gt;26:31 The Human Side of Medicine&lt;br /&gt;30:28 The Role of Hope in Medicine&lt;br /&gt;38:13 The Power of Storytelling&lt;br /&gt;43:29 Letters to My Sons&lt;br /&gt;52:17 Future Projects and Legacy&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; </description>
