Sarah's Scene Sarah Maraniss Vander Schaaff

If you listened to Balls in The Game in episode 1, you’ll remember Dr. Fletcher. He knows his stuff and the reason he does is that I consulted with an actual ER physician to write the play. In this episode, we catch up with Dr. Brian Thomas Fletcher, after a busy shift at the hospital. We talk about testicular torsion, his experience in the front lines treating COVID, a father-son understanding of gay marriage that crosses political lines, and his Hippocratic Oath to treat all patients and uphold medical ethics. 
“I take the Hippocratic oath, but I consider the Hippocratic Oath an extension of just being human.”

The actual election is just about a week away, and what that night will look like is anyone’s guess. But because that night, or week, or weeks might be long and many of us are approaching that time with some trepidation, I’ve re-imagined “Balls in the Game,” and adapted it for this podcast — a type of radio play.

Did you wear your tux, or put on some sweatpants? Whatever suits you is fine with me, as we share our salon of interesting conversation, short plays, and real-life stories. I’m Sarah Maraniss Vander Schaaff, but all you need to remember is this is Sarah’s Scene and we are turning on the light.
