Mar 18, 2026 | The Med List | 0 comments

Listen to Episode Below:

In this powerful episode of The MedList, Kevin and Donna sit down with Dr. Subbu Mukerji and Dr. Mimi Mukerji to share a deeply personal story of severe pain, repeated misdiagnoses, and the long road to discovering that a medication may have been at the center of it all. What began as recovery after bypass surgery turned into months of debilitating chest pain, fear, and unanswered questions—until careful observation, persistence, and pattern recognition helped reveal a possible adverse drug reaction hiding in plain sight.Together, they explore what patients and families can do when something feels wrong, why medication side effects should never be dismissed too quickly, and how journaling symptoms, asking better questions, and finding clinicians who truly listen can make all the difference. This is a moving conversation about patient advocacy, caregiver resilience, the limits of certainty in medicine, and the life-changing importance of being heard.
