Kathryn interviews Author Patricia Grayhall MD.In her debut memoir Patricia Grayhall MD shares her personal story for anyone who has ever lived the burden of being told their passions or ambitions are wrong. At 19, defying expectations of a woman growing up in Arizona in the 60s, she fled Phoenix for San Francisco, determined to finally come out as a lesbian after years of trying to be a “normal” girl. Her dream of becoming a physician drew her back to college, and then on to medical school in the conservative environment of Salt Lake City. Patricia longed for an equal loving relationship with a woman but her graduate medical training in Boston, with its emotional demands, long hours, lack of sleep, and social isolation, made finding that relationship difficult. Her memoir is a chronicle of coming of age during second wave feminism and striving to have both love and career as a gay medical doctor-finding them in the most surprising ways. She has published in Queer Forty and The Gay and Lesbian Review.Kathryn also interviews Dr. Richard Westreich.When Dr. Richard Westreich is not performing rhinoplasty, facial contouring or upper eyelid surgery at his NYC practice, he is pursuing his passion for music — and helping local artists along the way. His band, Big Rich Energy, is currently on tour in NYC and all of the band’s proceeds go to charities that support local artists and music education. He also uses his music to draw attention to critical issues, such as gun violence. He’s been selected multiple times by Castle Connolly and New York magazine as one of the top doctors in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Westreich also offers safety tips for those considering any cosmetic procedures which can improve chances of a better outcome. He is an assistant professor at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and is on staff at Lenox Hill and Mount Sinai Hospitals in NYC, where he can be seen regularly on the ABC, CBS, FOX and Newsmax networks.
