No, IT IS NOT! Are you kidding me?! Didn’t work. OMG! Who said that? Seriously. Who said that? Michael, was that you? Katie?! I swear I will turn this car around this minute! Okay, is that the way it’s going to be?? Fine, well then everyone will just have to stay put until this newsletter is finished! I […]
Good morning! We’re grateful that you chose to spend a few minutes of your Friday with us. Thank you. We’re also super excited for you to read Enrique’s Inspiring Story. If you have a second I can’t wait to tell you about this cardiology office visit – so wild!! Last Monday I was all pumped […]
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! Dr. Sabgir is traveling with his family (and doing a lot of walking!) so he wasn’t able to write a goofy newsletter this week. Before he left, Dr. Sabgir sat down with Ed Ryan for a discussion on Walk with a Doc, the benefits of walking, and information about our new partnership with Grouper, which allows walkers […]
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! First, for the many of you in significant heat, please be careful. Now on with the absurdity… Early this May, a 43 y/o man came to his office visit, super stressed out. I had seen him a few times over the past 5 or so years and all his echos, stress tests, CT calcium […]
Good morning! For this week’s newsletter, we’d like to hand the mic over to a special guest, our friend Jules Hotz. The importance of the “with” in Walk with a Doc “See that lady in the blue jacket? That’s Phyllis— one of three dozen people I met on a sunny Saturday last October in Columbus, […]
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 […]
