I'm Aware That I'm Rare: the phaware® podcast
The Hidden Daily Battles of Pulmonary Hypertension Patients Behind the clinical charts and heart catheterizations lies a world of emotional, financial, and physical challenges that PH patients face every day. Dr. Khushboo Goel opens up about what she’s learned from patients in support groups—and how it’s reshaping her approach to care. My name is Dr. Khushboo Goel. I am a pulmonary hypertension specialist here at Cedars-Sinai. I'm part of the faculty for the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. I came to Cedars in route, multiple states in terms of my medical training....

From Knee Pain to Gene Discovery: One Family’s Unexpected Diagnosis What started as routine investigations into hereditary knee problems turned into a life-altering discovery for Luke Stockdale and his family — a TBX4 gene mutation linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In this episode, Luke shares how his mother’s journey through years of respiratory care led to a rare diagnosis, and how it’s changed the course of his entire family’s future. With candor and urgency, he discusses the emotional weight of genetic testing, the inconsistencies in clinical care, and his...
