Pediatric oncologist and palliative care physician Dr. Adam B. Hill suffered despair and disillusionment with the culture of medicine, culminating in a spiral of depression, alcoholism, and an active suicidal plan.

In fighting stereotypes/stigma and teaching vulnerability, compassion, and empathy, Hillās work is being lauded as a road map for better practices at a time when medical professionals around the world are struggling in silence.
