The Stethoscope Issue

You knew it was bound to come up at some point, right? While we don't plan on making this a frequent topic on the podcast, we thought it might be helpful to give our take on the happenings of the last 18 months.
In this episode we talk about the last year and a half from Andrew's perspective - from initial precautions and protections to setting up a testing center to reaching the point of having to make a pretty major job decision. We also talk fear, Philippians 4:7, providence, and grace.

Bonus episode! We recorded an extra issue this week, mostly because we know that fall sports are quickly approaching and people are buying gear! In this episode we talk about buying athletic shoes - how to evaluate someone's foot for pronation, neutrality, or supination, as well as how to evaluate shoes for suitability.
Definitely give this one a listen if you're in the market for some new athletic shoes!

In this episode we talk a bit more about Andrew's work as an Athletic Trainer, both right out of undergrad and today. We get into the new athletic training elective that he teaches as well as the valuable lessons learned by both Andrew and Betsy from their time as high school athletes.

In this episode we discuss medical ethics, iRobot, trusting your provider, and Body Integrity Dysphoria (which we referred to as No Left Hand Syndrome)

After a very long absence, we're back! It won't take you long to note that this was actually recorded back in the spring and it's not so much that we have been MIA as it is that it's just taken forever to get it edited and uploaded.

In this episode we talk Big Pharma, prescription discount programs, insulin & inhalers, our own experience with costly medications during pregnancy, and what is behind the crazy prices for some of our most widely used and necessary medications.
