    My recent Xray Adventure/Q&A.

    What's up you beautiful people?! In this Scoli Sunday episode I talk about my recent X-ray appointment and how it made me feel... not so great lol. I talk about how I wish people were more intentional at times and the importance of patient connection and care in the medical field. It took me for years to make this appointment and I know so many people relate to this- we ignore our needs due to knowing what we'll deal with and this is just one experience- I know there must be so many different stories from so many people so I just wanted to talk about mine and share my thoughts because while I know its not the biggest deal , I still think how you make people feel is really important whether its a simple x-ray or a spinal fusion surgery- every person you meet has a story and making them feel seen and heard can make all the difference at their appointment. I also answer some spinal fusion Q&A'S and share updates about the website and future Twisted Thursday Episodes !
