A date is going great until someone’s foreskin refuses to cooperate. In the second edition of Second Opinion, Jeremie, Brian and Taylor return to Reddit for a sex accident that turns a promising night into an emergency-room bonding exercise. Then, a nursing student gets kicked out of clinical after pooping on the hospital sidewalk. Was it a bodily emergency, bad judgment, or both? Finally, a woman is pressured to donate a kidney to the sister who made her childhood hell—and the guys find themselves on very different sides of the argument. Does family loyalty extend to your internal organs? Where does generosity end and obligation begin? Got a medical mishap, healthcare horror story, or health-related moral dilemma that needs a Second Opinion?

When his lungs began to fail, a groundbreaking CF modulator changed his future almost overnight. It also left him carrying survivor’s guilt for the friends who never got the same chance.Now, Will is turning that second chance into action. He tells the fellas why he travelled to Bangladesh to publicly take a generic version of a CF drug priced at roughly $360,000 a year, how pharmaceutical patents can determine who gets to live, and why a medical miracle means very little when geography and money keep it out of reach.The conversation also gets into parenthood, mortality, the strange burden of receiving a future you never planned for, and Will’s darkly funny novel, This Is How People Die.Have a story you want to share?
