In this Docs Outside the Box episode, Nii and Renée take on two hot-button topics - abortion and gun violence. In the wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade and Uvalde, they explore the consequences for women who are denied abortions and the impact of gun violence on children and teens in our country. 

They also tackle the lesser known and understood issue of the disproportionate number of black residents that are dismissed from their medical programs and whether it is an admission or systemic problem. Nii and Renée unpack the studies that look at these issues.

Things to expect in this episode:

• Nii and Renée’s professional and personal experience and outlook on the overturning of Roe v Wade
• A discussion of the Turnaway Study that followed 1000 women, over a decade, who sought an abortion in 21 states
• The professional implications of the overturning of Roe v Wade for doctors to medically treat pregnant women
• The impact and effects of gun violence on the lives of children and teens, a look at the studies and policy
• Is the disproportionate number of Black residents dismissed from their programs an admissions or systemic problem?

Inflation is here and there aren’t many people out there who are fans of it either. Gas and food prices are through the roof (among other consumables). But there might be a small silver lining in this if you have some extra cash lying around.

Treasury I Bonds (issued by the U.S. Treasury) have been very enticing lately. This is not just because they’re considered safe, but also because the interest rate is tied to the government’s measure of inflation. TLDR: The higher inflation goes, the higher the interest rates on I Bonds.

Dr. Leif Dahleen, also known as Physician on Fire, is on the show to discuss the basics of I Bonds. 

Things to expect in this episode:

• What are US Treasury I Bonds
• How are US Treasury I Bonds calculated
• The Pros & Cons of using Treasury I Bonds
• Why does Physician on Fire recommend Treasury I Bonds
• Who should be purchasing these bonds

Physician on Fire’s Step by Step Guide on Treasury I Bonds: How, When, and Why To Buy I Bonds
