Time: Last Friday, August 9th, 2024, 6:45 a.m Location: Utility Closet, 3rd-floor WWAD World Headquarters, Columbus, OH “Bryan! Bryan! Let me out!!” I continue to pound on the door. The meaty part of my hands next to my pinkies (hypothenar eminences for all the med students in the room) are red, raw, and sore as all get out. My […]

Good morning! Bryan here. Where’s David, you ask? Some have expressed their concerns about Walk with a Doc’s lack of depth in the Goofiness Department, so I’ve been getting lessons from Dr. Sabgir and offered to guest-write this week’s newsletter. Here goes nothing… Have you been watching the Olympics these last few weeks? What tremendous […]

Good morning! I hope you had a peaceful evening. My son, Charlie, and I watched the US Olympic Track and Field Trials – what amazing talent! In my day job as a cardiologist, we’d run a couple of Mock Codes in May to prepare all the nurses, residents, and attending physicians in our outpatient clinic on how to […]

Good morning! We love to start our newsletters with uplifting information. Unfortunately, this morning that’s a challenge.  I was on call last night and we have some difficult news to share.  Many of you will find in this morning’s papers that SpongeBob, lead actor from the hit series, SpongeBob SquarePants, was admitted late last night/early this morning with […]

Good morning! Yesterday, we received a fictional letter from a man in North Dakota (we could tell it was fake because we don’t yet have a chapter in ND). I’m sharing the letter first but please either just skip it (the letter) or read Coming In June after (that is the big news from the subject line […]

Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day Weekend to all! A little bit of a different spin this morning. You may be aware that we’ve had a dream partnership with the Texas Medical Association for 12 years now. Our incredible Bryan Romey just returned from representing us in Dallas at TexMed, their largest annual conference. He had a poster, […]
