The Privilege of Providing Primary Care
Monday Jan 21, 2019
Monday Jan 21, 2019
Primary care is one of the least glamorous areas of medicine a provider can go into prompting many doctors, physician assistants, & nurse practitioners to opt for specialties that come with higher salaries, greater recognition, & more esteem. However, primary care providers are often the first call & biggest advocate for their patients in the complex world of medicine resulting in long lasting relationships that can hardly be found elsewhere.
Dr. Jeff, a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner, describes his crucial role providing such care in a rural Midwest community.
Warning: Please be advised sensitive subjects are discussed as always, but this episode contains a case about suicide which may be particularly troubling for some listeners.

Sunday Dec 16, 2018

Despite their pragmatism when providing care for patients, Christine & Liz sharing embarrassing personal stories of downplaying their own health needs to land themselves in the Emergency Room proving the old adage that nurses, medics, and doctors can be some of the worst patients.

Why We Do It
Sunday Nov 18, 2018
Sunday Nov 18, 2018
In the world of medicine we focus intently on advancements, improving patient outcomes, and pushing the bounds of science to better health, yet rarely as clinicians do we sit down to have detailed conversations with the very people we are trying to help or have helped.
It is a great privilege for us to speak with one person whose case was described in the episode Do What You Can, Air Force EOD TSgt Daniel Fye. Dan shares what it was like getting wounded by an IED in Afghanistan with the surprising symptom of unquenchable thirst to recovery & rehabilitation requiring him to regrow part of his remaining leg. Dan is an incredible example of perseverance, resilience, and strength all of which are exemplified by his recent completion of the fire academy & becoming a Firefighter.
Dan’s story reminds us that this is Why We Do It.
We respectfully remember the friend’s of TSgt Fye mentioned in the episode,
TSgt Kristoffer M. Solesbee & SSgt Joseph J. Hamski KIA May 26, 2011
Shorabak district, Kandahar, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
