How ER medicine has changed and where it's going - Dr. Eric Grafstein [SUJY #001]

Episode 1

Tuesday, January 13, 2026 • Duration 01:49:31

Dr. Eric Grafstein is an emergency physician, health system leader, and one of my longtime professional mentors. His work has profoundly shaped how emergency care is delivered—both for patients and for the clinicians working inside the system.

He has been practicing medicine for over 40 years and has held some of the most influential leadership roles in emergency medicine in British Columbia, including serving as the Regional Head of Emergency Medicine, overseeing 13 emergency departments across the province.

In this conversation, we dive into some of the most pressing issues facing emergency medicine and healthcare today, including:
-Burnout among healthcare workers
-Substance use and moral distress in medicine
-Emergency department wait times and system strain
-Public trust in healthcare—and how we begin to rebuild it

This is an honest, thoughtful, and systems-level conversation about what’s breaking, what still works, and what needs to change if we want a sustainable future for emergency medicine and healthcare as a whole.

Whether you’re a healthcare worker or someone who’s ever needed an emergency department, this episode offers rare insight into how the system really works—from the inside.

Sunday, May 24, 2026 • Duration 01:03:36

In this episode of the Stably Unstable Podcast, I sit down with Dale, a former heroin addict who survived addiction, rebuilt his life through recovery, and now works on the front lines of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside helping people struggling with addiction, homelessness, and mental illness.

We explore Dale’s personal journey into addiction, what opioid addiction actually feels like, the turning point that ultimately led him toward sobriety, and the most impactful interventions that helped him break free from addiction.

We also have an honest conversation about the realities of the Downtown Eastside — one of the most heavily impacted neighborhoods in North America when it comes to addiction, overdose deaths, homelessness, and mental health challenges.

Chapters:
00:48 - Dale’s Origin Story
06:03 - When addiction took over

Should Doctors Let Personal Beliefs Influence Patient Care? Dr. Margaret Cottle [SUJY #005]

Season 1 · Episode 5

Saturday, June 6, 2026 • Duration 02:17:56

What happens when two physicians approach medicine from very different ethical frameworks?

In this episode, I sit down with Margaret Cottle, a palliative care physician, author, speaker, and prominent voice in the Christian medical community. Dr. Cottle has spent more than 20 years caring for patients with terminal illness in Vancouver, BC, and is a clinical instructor at UBC Medical School. She serves as Vice President of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition and is involved with the Christian Advocacy Society of Greater Vancouver. Together with her husband, she also helps host gatherings for the Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada community in Vancouver.

Dr. Cottle is a vocal advocate for pro-life medicine and has been an outspoken critic of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada. While many of her views are rooted in her Christian faith, our conversation explores how those beliefs intersect with modern medical practice and some of the most controversial healthcare issues facing society today.

As an emergency physician, my own approach is grounded in patient-centered care, respect for patient autonomy, and the recognition that people bring different values, beliefs, and life experiences into medical decision-making. This discussion examines where those perspectives align, where they diverge, and how physicians can navigate ethical disagreements while still caring for patients with compassion and respect.

Topics discussed include:

• Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)
• Abortion and reproductive healthcare
• Contraception
• Patient autonomy and informed consent
• The role of personal values and faith in healthcare
• Palliative care and end-of-life decision making
• What patient-centered care means in practice

Whether you agree with Dr. Cottle, disagree with her, or fall somewhere in between, I hope this conversation encourages thoughtful discussion about some of the most challenging ethical questions in medicine.

What are your thoughts? Where should the balance lie between patient autonomy, physician conscience, and ethical responsibility? Let me know in the comments below.
