Podcast: Why Should I Trust You?Published On: Thu Aug 27 2026
Description: Has the Lindsay Clancy trial quickly become a proxy for something larger? — arguments about psychiatry and medication, motherhood and mental illness, personal responsibility, and whether our medical system is fundamentally failing the people who depend on it? And in choosing sides, are we at risk of turning one horrific case into evidence for conclusions that go far beyond what this particular tragedy can actually tell us?We’re joined by two psychiatrists and an ER physician today to talk about all this.
