“Doctors don’t need more time – they need better tools to communicate clearly and connect emotionally.” – Dr. Spencer Lalk
Ever felt like you were saying all the right things to a patient, but something just wasn’t landing?
You’re not alone.
Today’s guest, Dr. Spencer Lalk, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of MedStory Media, knows that gap well.
In this inspiring conversation, he explains the power of storytelling in medicine, not as a buzzword, but as a bridge. A bridge between what we mean and what patients actually hear.
Dr. Lalk shares his own turning point moments and walks us through a framework he created to help physicians communicate more clearly, connect more deeply, and make their message truly stick.
He also reminds us why our personal stories matter – not just for connection, but for trust, impact, and healing.
