Issue #9 - Stethoscopes & Stories

08/26/21 • 25 min

In this episode we discuss the meaning behind our podcast title - what it means, why we chose it, and how it applies to many aspects of both of our lives. Andrew also tells some stories, from working as a CNA to his first days as an EMT and even many years later as a PA working urgent care.

Issue #8 - Covid-19.

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.

Issue #10 - DPC 2.0

In this episode we go deeper into what DPC (Direct Primary Care) is, and we talk about it both from the perspective of provider (Andrew) and patient (Betsy). We talk about how it's different from both concierge medicine AND the standard insurance based model, how the Spruce app works, the benefits to not working with insurance companies, what's included in your monthly membership fee (and what isn't), the benefits of on-site pharmacy, and the access available to both patient and provider and how that makes for a more personal, direct, streamlined level of care that benefits everyone involved.
