In this episode we dive into the quirks of daily life and the unexpected moments in medicine. We debate the merits of keeping texts unread—Will's inbox is chaos—before sharing our latest adventures in pet ownership, including the struggle to bond with our new kittens while preventing our dog from eating them. We also discuss the hilarious things patients say under light sedation.

Takeaways:

Unread texts can be a personality trait—Will has 400+, while Kristin reads every single one.

Introducing cats and dogs takes patience (and some very careful planning).

Flirting at the grocery store is apparently a thing—especially if you're Kristin.

Doctors struggle with balancing documentation and patient interaction, especially when patients expect more eye contact.

Patients under light sedation say the funniest things, and sometimes, that includes a marriage proposal.
