On this episode, we’ll pull back the curtain on what happens inside the ICU, how teams handle life-or-death decisions, and the many lessons learned from the crises – from ordinary to extraordinary. This episode’s special guest, Dr. Jay Mbeng Nfonoyim – a critical care physician, educator, hospital leader, and someone whose journey is as inspiring as the work he leads. Host, Meredith Gaskins, will also explore Dr. Nfonoyim’s personal journey, which is an inspiring one – from a seminary-style boarding school in Cameroon to leading one of New York’s busiest ICUs and what it really takes to lead a team where every second counts.
