Debra Blaine is a doctor from Long Island, New York who is in the process of retiring after a long career but she is also searching for “uncommon sense in a society that is losing its mind…and its heart.”  She talks with Kim about her career as a doctor and how she enjoyed it but it wasn’t really what she truly wanted to do initially.  This open and entertaining single mom and MD experienced frustration with the healthcare system that is now run by businesspeople and not doctors. The patients turned into “customers” and the need to keep them happy which caused her to feel betrayed by her own profession. 

As she continued on her journey, she realized that she wanted to write about her experiences as a type of Therapy for herself which eventually led to writing three books including a murder mystery. Debra talks about how writing these books helped her realize that she didn’t want to be in the medical profession anymore and she found a new way to help others. Listen to this episode to learn more about her journey.
