45 min - Can I be fat and healthy?
Mark Lewis, MD and Jean Luc Neptune, MD tackle the sensitive subject of weight. What exactly are the measures of health? While we often assume that being overweight is a sign of being unhealthy, we rarely think that someone who is thin can be out of shape. With the current obesity epidemic in the United States, it is worth asking the question, "Can I be fat and healthy?" but a better question might be, what does healthy look like?

42 min - Should I look at my medical records?
The 21st Century Cures Act made it mandatory to release scans and lab results to patients as soon as they are ready. Often, this means that they get released to patients before their doctors have seen them. While JL and Mark believe that patients should own their data, there are many sensitive situations when patients receiving their information without full understanding or explanation can have devastating results.
