    14. The Worst I’ve Ever Seen

    Sometimes it's difficult for us humans to look outside of our own personal experiences.  In this episode, I hope to give context to what can happen to someone when life really screws them over.  My hope is that it can help to give some perspective on one's experience versus another's.

    17. A Cautionary Tale

    This one is for providers.  I cannot stress this enough: We do not know as much as we think we do.  Be careful how sure you are about a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or even just judgement calls in daily life.

    19. How To Be A Good Patient

    There's no shortage of information out there about good and bad providers.  However, patients, have you ever thought about what your responsibility is in the healthcare relationship?  This is not an episode to wag fingers.  It's only to give you insight into how things work that will allow you to get the most out of your healthcare experiences.

    20. I Didn’t Have Time

    21. Mutants Are Real and Walk Among Us Today

    The title of this episode is not a joke nor is it hyperbole.  There people who live among us today who have superpowers like we see in the movies.  Okay, that was hyperbole, but if you take it from "superpower and drop it to just "powers" then it's no longer hyperbole.  Listen on to see what I mean.

    23. I’m Wrong, and So Is Everyone Else

    I step back into my collegiate days where I was obsessed with philosophy.  It's not just an episode on epistemology for the sake of it.  It's about practical application of epistemology.

    27. Why Are You Here?

    Providers, are you focused on the right thing?  Are you thinking and behaving like a textbook?  Is academics really the right way to work in rehab medicine.  I don't think it is, and in this episode I'll explain what I mean.

    28. My Story of Burnout

    Welcome to the opening story behind what the purpose of this podcast is.  It's not a happy tale, but it is one that resonates with so many rehab medicine providers.  The hope is to help other providers know that they are not alone.
