Bloodletting? Asylums? Once upon a time these were medicine's best answers to treating OCD. Hundreds of years later, what are the options for someone with OCD today? In the second half of this series on OCD, we are back with Dr. Watling to explore the past, present, and future of OCD management.
Now, more than ever, we are constantly washing our hands and sanitizing everything. But does keeping things clean and hating germs mean you have OCD? Join us and our special guest Dr. Mark Watling as we dive into what it really means to live with OCD, debunk misconceptions from pop culture, and explore the unique challenges for OCD patients in the pandemic.
Have you ever wondered why pregnant women shouldn't clean the litter box? There's a parasite in cat poop that can cause health problems in the developing fetus. Hopefully this episode will give you a bit more in depth information on why it’s better to be a dog person! (Just kidding I have two cats of my own 😉).
Stethoscopes, prosthetics, and… clones?? In this 3D printing series finale, we discuss the shifting culture in the medical device market, and other current and future applications of 3D printing, where reality meets science fiction.
Lub-dub, lub-dub… ahh the beautiful sound of a beating heart. The stethoscope is a quintessential archetype of a physician, and is used by many other professions. However, a three-digit price tag makes them a luxury good for many around the world. Can we create high-quality alternatives for medical equipment for the price of a cup of coffee?
Risk is a common word in the medical toolkit, but what does it actually mean? Well, fear not. Risk reporting is actually much more complex than you think. On this episode of Hashtag Health, we dig into risk and how it is commonly reported. You may be shocked to see how differently the same data can be presented.
Introducing our new mini-series, Hashtag Health Lite! On a quick coffee break? Sit back and listen to our bite-sized critical review of scientific literature on popular health topics. Science shows that a compound in red wine is great for your health. That means we should start drinking red wine right? Not so fast. On this episode of Hashtag Health, we explore the basics of Resveratrol, a small molecule that has been called the “silver bullet” that will explain the French Paradox. We also shed light on the importance of context when interpreting scientific literature.
With much of the Covid-19 discussion being that of the biomedical approach implications, have we lost sight of a more holistic view of health? On this episode of Hashtag Health, we dive into the biopsychosocial model of health with Dr. Farah Abdulsatar to help better understand how that little self-care routine of yours may actually be more important than you think!
With increasing access to vaccinations, the COVID-19 pandemic looks to be drawing to a close in some countries. Other countries haven't been as fortunate. How do we really put an end to this pandemic on a global scale? And what comes after that? On this episode of # COVID VACCINES, we spoke with Dr. Noni Macdonald about barriers for global COVID-19 vaccination and a post-pandemic future.
Is the COVID vaccine a 4G microchip?? Last time, we spoke with Mallory Ellingson about how to combat vaccine hesitancy. But to be effective, she mentioned it is important to be well-educated. Learn about how it makes sense that the COVID vaccines were developed so quickly, comparison of the different COVID vaccines, the strategies for vaccine rollout in Canada and abroad, and more in this episode!
We finally have working vaccines for COVID-19, but not everybody is planning to get their shot. Why are people feeling hesitant about vaccination? And how do we talk to them about it? On this episode of #VACCINEHESITANCY, we spoke with infectious disease researcher Mallory Ellingson from Yale University about where vaccine hesitancy comes from and how we can have conversations about it.

it's definitely interesting, but the background music is so overpowering and distracting.
