  • Annual Exams

    Thank you so much for this podcast. I’m thinking women of child bearing age, living in states that ban abortions, should call their legislators to schedule their annual OBGYN exam, since the politicians seem to know more about women’s reproductive health than actual doctors.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ENCORE: Shenanigans at the 5th Circus Court With RaeShandra Lias & Nikki Sapiro Vinckier
Q: What does it mean if the stay to mail Mifepristone is allowed or blocked?
If mail is allowed, access remains through mail-delivery regimens; if blocked, patients may have to rely on clinic-based or miso-only options, with more logistical and pain-management challenges.
No Lube, So Rude With Peaches & Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari
Q: From a physician's point of view, can you talk about this expansion of care and what it could mean?
Dr. Mary explains that care should be driven by individual medical need and patient-physician conversations, not one-size-fits-all policies; the RV clinic model demonstrates how care can reach underserved rural populations, while acknowledging limits and the need for broader health system reform.
Hoosier Hero? With Dr. Caitlin Bernard
Q: How has Indiana's regulatory environment affected your day-to-day practice and your patients?
She explains the real-world impact of restrictive laws, the need to transfer patients to Illinois for certain care, and the ongoing legal and safety challenges providers face, including threats and investigations.
Hoosier Hero? With Dr. Caitlin Bernard
Q: Where did you grow up and what shaped you to become the doctor you are today?
Dr. Bernard discusses growing up with hippie parents in upstate New York, a background that emphasized community and service, and how that philosophy steered her toward global health work and serving communities in need.
Jimothy Has More Rizz Than Andrew Tate With Ericka Hart & Heb Murphy
Q: What stood out to you about the CDC nominee hearing?
The hosts note the nominee's evasive answers and alleged anti-abortion bias, contrasting her medical credentials with a lack of clear commitment to science-based policy, which left them with more questions than answers.
