My Medical Mixtape

Track 2, Side 2: Our Thick Candy Shells

Physician song leaders?  None finer than GeriPal's Alex Smith.  Sugary pop songs?  None sweeter than Sugar Sugar by The Archies.  Recorded together at AAHPM in Denver, join Alex and me as we come out of our shells to share stories, laughs, and even sing some campfire songs!

Track 3, Side 2: Blood and Friends and COVID

We all need a little help from our friends, right? Just like Joe Cocker wails in this week's mixtape song. Come explore the friendships that were forged in fire on the frontlines of COVID. Then join our guest, emergency room PA, Tommy Nguyen, as he shares about rock climbing, his journey alongside his mother as she faces stage IV cancer, and the power of friendships in medicine.  It's an episode with a lot of heart...and a lot of blood.

In the Name of Love: Responding to the Texas Floods

The July 4th floods were unlike anything we've seen here in Texas in so many ways.  In this episode we turn to the bookends of U2's greatest album, The Joshua Tree, to reckon with the hurt we all feel and the hope we all need.

Running Toward Danger: a Rescuer's Response to the Texas Floods

Shawn Hohnstreiter survived an hour-long drowning episode when he was seven years old. As co-founder of Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR), he has dedicated the last two decades to helping others in peril. On this episode you'll hear from this sophisticated country boy and get a window into the world of search and rescue and disaster response. And you'll love his fiery hot takes on popular music.

Track 4, Side 2: Let All The Children Boogie

An inspiring chat with oncologist Bo Goodgame, and a lot of rock-n-roll with Ron and his buddies, the coolest gang you'll ever meet.  There will be Bowie!
We let the convo keep rolling because Bo just kept bringing the goods.  When you're done listening to the episode, you can check out Bo's "high lonesome" Spotify playlist here: https://bit.ly/4lQRDUx
