Dr. Kwajo: Poor Metabolic Health Means Poor ICU outcomes - #59

Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng wants you not to end up in the ICU.

An ICU doctor and a department head at the Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Kwadwo knows metabolic disease is a massive driver of poor outcomes.

The inefficiency of the healthcare system prompted him to start his podcast "Solving Healthcare" which aims to empower healthcare workers to think out of the box.
