Rewind The Record

CORRECTION: In the first edition of this podcast, it was inaccurately stated that 43 million people have died from Covid-19 worldwide — the accurate number is 4.3 million (still a staggering number). How is a medical consensus (during a pandemic) reached? Is it an opinion? In this episode, Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD discuss why the medical consensus during a pandemic matters — and dissect the anatomy of recent viral videos that go against the medical consensus in regard to COVID-19.

Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD have a raw and emotional discussion regarding the reality that is sinking in: After giving birth in April of 2020 in the first Covid lockdown, the two are expecting another baby in January 2022. With Nick treating Covid patients, they consider what life will be like — and why they hope more people will take their online research to trusted physicians who have experience with Covid.

News-induced stress has become a news-worthy topic. In this episode, Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD discuss actionable tips to help people cope with news-induced anxiety while also staying informed. The two also dig into their own relationship with the news and how it has impacted their mental health, relationships and daily life. 

On this week’s episode, Trisha is joined by Amy Klein, author of “The Trying Game: Get Through Fertility Treatment and Get Pregnant Without Losing Your Mind.” The two discuss how IVF treatment and coverage could be unexpectedly impacted by pro-life laws. This series is NOT focused on the abortion debate — instead, it examines how laws could impact reproductive healthcare. Tune in.

A conversation like you’ve never heard before. Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD look at the potential unexpected consequences of pro-life laws. This is NOT an abortion debate. Instead, they ask the questions: Will miscarriage investigations become a thing? What will criminal enforcement of these laws look like? If you are pro-life OR pro-choice, this is an episode for you. No condemnation — just questions.

Trisha and Nick, MD discuss the damaging impacts of miscarriage misinformation in America. They highlight how women are (thankfully) changing the conversation about miscarriage and get personal about their own experiences with miscarriage — the grief, the shame… and the silence.

This week, Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD continue their conversation on the opioid crisis — this time focusing on Purdue Pharma’s legal strategy, which was crafted in the early years by… Rudy Giuliani.

In light of recent headlines profiling HBO’s new documentary, “The Crime of the Century,” Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD rewind the record on the opioid crisis and discuss Nick’s difficult and scary experiences as a new doctor trying to help patients who had become addicted.

Trisha and Dr. Nick, MD, discuss the devastating COVID situation in India and take a trip down memory lane to the start of the pandemic. Dr. Nick relives what it was like — from the outbreak in Wuhan, China to present day — treating Covid patients, finding beds for non-Covid patients and dealing with overwhelming misinformation and mistrust.

Dr. Nick, MD, joins Trisha for a detailed conversation on the sweeping anti-transgender bills in America — and the many misconceptions that surround gender-affirming care for minors. The two also discuss anti-transgender legislation aimed at youth sports, asking the questions: Why is this happening? How did we get here? And… how can we better understand?
