    Dying With Dignity Part II

    Dying With Dignity Part II

    Welcome back! In true reboot fashion, we're going to talk about end of life and dying with dignity in this brand new episode. Does this description seem kind of familiar? Well it should because this is the second episode of what will be multiple episodes I want to release throughout the year regarding end of life. Western culture is really great with shying away from talking about death. Let's change that. As Marty McFly would say, "this is heavy" so please, exercise listener discretion with this series.

    Born to be Wild

    This week is a bit of a blast from the past in that this interview was done in early 2020. Better now than never, right? 
    If you've ever been wondering about wilderness medicine, this is the episode for you. If you have no idea what wilderness medicine is, this is still the episode for you. Learn a bit more about a specialty you might not even know existed!  
    Thank you Bryan!

    Babies...Babies Everywhere

    This week I have the honor of talking with one of my friends about a world I know little to nothing about aka the land of labor and delivery. Cybil is a rockstar in that world and I'm so fortunate that she took the time to chat!

    N95: 98 Degrees Cover Band or Mysteriously Marvelous PPE

    What do you get when you have two enthusiastic women talking about all things N95s? This podcast interview. Please note that it was recorded in March 2021 while I was sitting in a dark room lit up by a single candle in New Mexico. It seemed fitting to release it now as we are sliding back into comprehensive masking. (see what I did there? Fit test...N95...send help)
