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 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!  Kudos Corner To all those who are fully vaccinated, masking, and still looking out for the under served,...

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.

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...

Surprise y'all, bet you thought you'd heard the last out of me. Let's get to business once again and start off slow with getting this podcast restarted.

We also get into a discussion that throws Nico for a loop. Hope y'all enjoy and stay...

This week I'm back and tackling the topic truly no one asked for, ear complaints in the ER. Also mentioned is Survivor and my thoughts on the gone too soon US adaptation of the show Celebrity Splash!  FYI: This is part one of two because earwax removal deserves it's own episode. Trust me. Don't be a jabroni, wear your mask, homie. Kudos Corner/Resources Row: Criminality Podcast:...

This week, the episode about COVID you had no idea you were waiting for is here and boy, is it a doozy. Myself and the lovely Crit (https://twitter.com/rn_critcare) try to remain anonymous while conveying to y'all how screwed over healthcare workers have become during this pandemic.  Listen, reflect, and share this because a lot of us are being threatened with retaliation for speaking up.  Also, https://getusppe.org/ Kudos Corner TJ, editor-at-large: 4170solutions.com  Thanks for your support...

This week I'm taking a backseat to my own podcast once again and letting Brian take the reins as he tells you about how the gift of life from an organ donor gave him not just a second but a third chance at life. Needless to say, Stacey Q is shook. Also I saw Stacey Q perform live in concert in a room at a casino with #PAWDad as an opening act for Rose Royce so if you're wondering where she ended up, she's doing fine.  Resources and references: Brian's...

This week an old friend is back, I stumble regarding my prayer candle, and I make a reference that the youths will appreciate (hopefully) and that's not even the first five minutes of the new ep.  When it comes down to it, we trust healthcare providers to have our best interest in mind but what happens when that trust is broken? Talking about the case of Dr William Husel and trust me, this is only the beginning.  Sources and...
