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 […]
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, […]
Good morning! Laughing in flowers – such a great quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Here’s hoping the weather is great in your neighborhood. Thinking of warmer days, at the close of our office visits, I love talking with our patients about how they like to stay active. As you would guess, this time of year […]
Good morning! I hope you’re doing well and thank you for your time. Tuesday, our 11:45 a.m. office patient came way early (never a bad thing). This left a solid hour before our next visit. It was 67, sunny, and quickly seeming like it would be a crime if I didn’t head across the street. […]
Good morning! Some weeks we talk about medicine; others we don’t. Let’s cut to the chase. Recently I’ve been getting a lot of slack at our local Walk with a Doc now that our oldest dog, Phoebe, has a Galaxy S24. Our little guy, Henry, does not. He’s only 3 years old – that would be ridiculous. I hear your […]
Good morning! In April of 2005, Dr. David Sabgir decided he’d had enough… Countless conversations with patients, telling them they needed to get more exercise had led nowhere. He had a crazy idea to invite patients to join him for a walk in the park. The rest is history. To celebrate the 19th anniversary of Walk with a Doc, […]
