    Thoughts On Abortion

    Thoughts On Abortion

    In this week’s episode of Your Health Matters, I talked about my thoughts on abortion as a healthcare provider. I know it is a sensitive topic more so now because Roe v. Wade was recently overturned by the Supreme Court. It will now be left to the states in the United States if abortion is legal or illegal within their territory. 

     

    In this episode we discuss: 

     

    [0:22] Introduction 

    [2:15] My experiences around pregnancy as a healthcare provider

    [4:57] My experiences with my pregnancies 

    [8:30] Unintended consequences in states where abortion will be considered illegal 

    [12:24] If abortion will become illegal, what are the consequences to the children  

    [14:00] People having the right support and resources 

    [15:00] Conclusion

    A Stunning Stat On Knee Replacements

    A Stunning Stat On Knee Replacements

    In this week’s episode of Your Health Matters, I talked about the stunning statistics around knee replacement.  I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw a study about 18.6 percent of people who had knee surgery being dissatisfied with the outcome. That percentage is quite high since knee surgery is an elective surgery so I wanted to talk about this to help you understand how to get better results after undergoing a knee surgery or any surgery for that matter. 

     

    In this episode we discuss: 

     

    [0:20] Introduction 

    [2:24] The Most Significant Predictor Of Dissatisfaction  

    [3:03] What Is A Knee Replacement
