This week on the RWR podcast, I sit down with Emily Guntle (formerly Courtman), a surgical GYN Physician Assistant that works with women who have struggled with Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibroids, infertility + so much more. She is passionate about helping women get the high quality, holistic medical care they deserve.
Emily has worked in variety of medical and surgical environments, including Labor + Delivery, and all have increased her ability to interact with patients and manage their care with the highest possible standards. From medical mission trips to Haiti, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala, to OBGYN care at Adventist Hospital Systems, Emily understands what it takes to advise, improvise, and achieve goals for patients and the facilities that serve them.
In this episode, we dive into her journey to becoming a surgical PA, starting with her working in L + D for a few years, and then she dives into the ways that she works with women in special populations.
We dive into everything from how we can't use imaging to diagnose endo, other root causes of pelvic pain that AREN'T endometriosis, excision surgery, the importance of incorporating BOTH realms of medicine when managing conditions like endometriosis, medical gaslighting, incorporating a wholistic approach to healing + so so much more!
