Host Candice Coghlan is joined by guest host, Mary Beaucage. As a follow up to the episode Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Mary discusses her kidney transplant from her cousin, barriers to transplant and her extensive advocacy work. Candice and Mary are joined by Dr. Istvan Mucsi, a clinical investigator and transplant nephrologist at the Multi Organ Transplant Program and Division of Nephrology at UHN. They talk about Dr. Mucsi’s work in research about inequities in transplant, how research findings can support patients and families to remove some of these barriers and how to build trusting relationships.
And what was that all about the camo pants? Mary wears camo pants when she travels to bring her good luck as she had a string of unlucky travel delays and since wearing the camo pants, it has resolved some of her troubles.
