How One ICU Case Changed Her Practice as a Doctor | Postcall Podcast
Why do some clinical moments change the way doctors practice medicine forever?
In this episode of Postcall: Stories Beyond the White Coat, Dr Selina Chew speaks with Dr Ai Phi Thuy Ho, a doctor and cardiology fellow in Norway, and founder of NorVue, a platform focused on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training for healthcare professionals.
Dr Ai Phi shares her journey into medicine, from growing up as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees in Norway to training in cardiology and working on the frontline of patient care.
Some clinical moments do more than save a patient’s life – they reshape how a doctor practices medicine and define their purpose moving forward.
During the conversation, she reflects on a defining ICU case early in her career where she used ultrasound to diagnose a life-threatening condition, a moment that transformed how she sees medicine, learning, and responsibility as a doctor.
The episode explores how that experience led her to focus on point-of-care ultrasound, medical education, and expanding how doctors deliver care beyond traditional approaches.
In this episode we discuss:
- what drew her to medicine and her early life growing up
- expectations versus reality in medical training
- the ICU case that changed how she practices medicine
- the role of point-of-care ultrasound in modern healthcare
- why doctors should continuously evolve their clinical skills
- how she built NorVue to improve ultrasound education for clinicians
This episode highlights what it means to be a doctor today – not just practicing medicine, but continuously improving how it is delivered.
Postcall features doctors who are impacting healthcare differently.
