Listen "From Peaks Island to Patients: Dr. Chuck Radis on His New Book"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Radio Maine, Dr. Lisa Belisle welcomes back Dr. Chuck Radis—rheumatologist, author, and storyteller—to discuss his newest book, Mystery in the Room (RHEUM): A Physician’s Journey Treating Patients with Rare Diseases. Drawing inspiration from Oliver Sacks and John McPhee, Dr. Radis blends medical insight with personal reflection, exploring the art of diagnosis, the humanity behind clinical encounters, and the balance between science and empathy.
Together, they discuss how technology, including AI, might paradoxically help physicians reconnect with patients, why listening remains medicine’s most powerful diagnostic tool, and how life on Peaks Island continues to shape Dr. Radis’s perspective as both a doctor and a writer.
