DOCTORS AREN’T ALWAYS RIGHT

  • It’s healthy to question authority
  • Not all doctors finish at the top of your class
  • If something your doctor says sounds weird or wrong, call them on it
  • If they can’t explain the reasoning behind something to you, that should be a red flag
  • Don’s daughter was told to take a ton of Advil
    • This, however, could cause stomach issues
    • Don will be speaking to the doctor as a result

VINNIE’S SHOULDER

  • Vinnie had issues before he played college football
    • Just aggravated those issues with that and a lot of his lifting afterwards
  • By Vinnie’s 33rd birthday, he was on his second surgery
  • He could not raise his right arm at all
    • Had to shake hands with his left
    • Hardly could ride a bike at all
  • His arm basically atrophied in his forties
    • No muscle, could basically see the bone
  • Had a ream and run surgery
    • Different from any other shoulder replacement
    • For the worst of the worst shoulder injuries
  • Vinnie is still recovering from this surgery
    • It takes years to build a bit of cartilage back
    • He had also forgotten how to use his shoulder muscles in that arm
  • Part of why he hasn’t done this kayak trip is because he rushed the recovery to try and do the trip too soon and hurt his shoulder
    • He is training slowly for it
    • He WILL get this done
  • Now, Vinnie has kayak friends!

CHANGE THE MEDICAL WORLD

  • Vinnie and Anna love hearing about podcast listeners in nursing and medical school
  • However, the limited nutrition lessons that teachers give are often focused around the SAD diet
  • A nurse-in-training’s teacher told her fat calls diabetes
    • Don’t believe everything your teachers tell you
  • Gary Fettke was persecuted for trying to save his patients’ limbs
    • He recently had his name cleared, but it was a long battle
  • When you become a nurse or a doctor, spread the truth
    • It is YOU who can change the world
  • There are doctors and nurses doing the right thing out them
    • Join them in this quest to keep people healthy, not just keep people from dying

HEALTH-FOOD LIES

  • It’s hard to imagine foods we have been told are healthy are unhealthy
  • Ex: veggie juices seem healthy, but they’re just straight sugar
  • Green tea frap is plain sugar
    • The ‘good’ from green tea does NOT outweigh the bad
    • Has 50g of carbs in 12oz
      • In no world is this good for you!
  • Naked Juices are misleading – NOT good for you
