When Bryant Lin, MD, physician and faculty member at Stanford Medicine, was diagnosed with stage 4 never-smoker lung cancer, he took it as an opportunity to do what he does best: teach. Lin launched a class diving into a variety of topics around cancer care, grappling with tough conversations, and the difficult choices that come with navigating drastic changes in one's health. In a conversation with Maya Adam, Lin shares his outlook and personal motivations to turn a daunting diagnosis into an opportunity to learn. Together they explore how, even amid a time of tumult, Lin finds meaning and hope through engaging young students in lessons of how to support and care for people facing similar diagnoses.
