WHAT THIS PODCAST IS ALL ABOUT
Real stories from inside a broken healthcare system and what they can teach us about surviving it, improving it, and protecting one another.
Hosted by Cheo, Healthcare Horror Stories brings real people, real experiences, and real lessons to the surface. From failed handoffs to discharge disasters, miscommunication, billing nightmares, claim denials, medical gaslighting, and moments when patients felt completely alone, this show gives those stories a place to be heard.
Healthcare Horror Stories exists to bring those experiences into the light, not just to expose what went wrong, but to uncover what can be learned, changed, and improved.
Each episode features real stories from patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, and people who have experienced the confusing, emotional, and often overwhelming side of healthcare firsthand.
The goal is not just to talk about the horror.
This show is designed to help people navigate the healthcare system, feel less alone, and inspire better communication, teamwork, and humanity. Through real stories and honest conversations, we hope to bring patients and providers together to foster greater understanding and create better outcomes on both sides.
