E14: "My Dad's a Rural Surgeon!" with Charlotte Lehman

The Rural American Surgeon

In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Randy Lehman is joined by two very special guests, his daughter Charlotte and a surprise appearance by his wife, Brittaney. Together they reflect on the demanding days of residency in Minnesota, and how the transition to rural practice in Indiana has impacted their family life and balance.

Charlotte describes her dad’s work as candidly and charmingly as only an 8-year-old can (“lots of gross surgeries!”) and reflects on how much more she gets to see her dad now compared to the days of residency. This fun and lighthearted episode not only provides insights into the professional life of a rural surgeon with small children, but also underscores the personal aspects of being present with family throughout a demanding career.
