PopMed Podcast

Sometimes people sweat.  Sometimes some people sweat a lot with no reason.  Sometimes this can be embarrassing.   Dr Adam Frederick and Dr Justin Pearson ask Nick how embarrassing it can be, since he has some real world experience dealing with this embarrassing problem.  Also, we discuss the movies Teen Wolf and Airplane, and throw in a little Saved By The Bell as a bonus.

In this episode, we delve into the tragedy of addiction with the movie Beautiful Boy as our backdrop.  It's a real tearjerker with excellent acting by Timothee Chalamet and Michael Scott...errr...Steve Carell, and this pod is basically one long PSA.  Now I'm sure that all you want to do is listen to this episode!  Take the time, spread the word.  It's worth it.

Ever wondered what it's like to have your arm or leg cut off?  Hollywood has no shortage of depictions of amputations, and a couple of doctors discuss what they get right and wrong in Forrest Gump, 127 Hours, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (with a little Star Wars thrown in for free).  You also will get a free story about Nick's first time out with his future in-laws.

Prepare to go on a journey of discovery with two MDs and our new contributer, Nick Otis, who has never seen Star Wars but wants to pretend he should be discussing pop culture.  In this episode we discuss concussions as portrayed in movies like 50 First Dates, Tommy Boy, and Kickboxer.  And we enjoy ourselves a little too much.
