In this episode of We Are Human, we sit down with Dr. Andy Nguyen — anesthesia resident by day, media creative by night — to talk about what it really takes to hold on to your humanity during medical training. Andy gets real about the highs, lows, and everything in between: the grueling hours, the emotional toll, and why keeping your creative spark alive outside the hospital isn’t just nice — it’s necessary.

We dive into the role that storytelling, passion projects, and genuine patient connection play in keeping us grounded, especially during the chaos of residency. This one’s for anyone who's ever wondered how to stay true to themselves in a system that often asks you to be anything but.
