House Calls | Looking Back, Moving Forward: A Conversation With My Moai

As Dr. Murthy prepares to conclude his term as Surgeon General, the moment is bittersweet: serving as Surgeon General has been the honor of his lifetime, and saying goodbye is hard.
For this second-to-last episode of House Calls, he calls on his my moai - friends and fellow physicians Dave Chokshi and Sunny Kishmore - to reflect on the issues he took and how serving as Surgeon General has shaped him. Dr. Murthy also shares his final act as Surgeon General: offering a Parting Prescription for America. It is a summary of what I have learned from my two terms, and what I believe will help heal the pain many people across our country are experiencing right now.
