On this episode (recorded in September 2019), I sat down with special guest, Dr. Robert Merritt.  Dr. Merritt is the Director of Thoracic Surgery at the Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital.  He’s the epitome of excellence: a thoroughly-educated, family man, an utmost professional to both his patients and colleagues, and can still talk football and not mention that team up north!

Once get into our discussion on first responder health, we dig deeper on:

• Effects of vaping,
• Telltale signs that 'something is wrong', and
• How prevention is the best tool we have in health- how relevant is that right now?

I need to give a special shout out to our family friend, Amy Ware, for setting up this interview.  Thanks Amy!

Without further ado, please enjoy this enlightening discussion with Dr. Merritt from whatever device you’re tuning in from…. and let’s get 'Outside The Bay'!
