Us vs Them Podcast is giving patients and caregivers (and those who support them) the opportunity to tell their stories and talk about how we transform healthcare… as we tackle tough topics that don’t get enough attention… from the perspective of those with lived experience. We will do deep dives into topics such as gender bias in healthcare, frozen shoulder, transitioning from pediatric to adult care, mental health, over-medicating our seniors, family caregivers as partners (not visitors) in healthcare, and more. Join us for compelling stories, smart analysis, and creative solutions.

    Chronic Pain: The Silent Epidemic

    This episode is focused on a topic that does NOT get enough attention: chronic pain. A 2022 study published in the journal Pain found that 50.2 million adults in the U.S. (that’s over 20% of us) reported pain on most days or every day… that makes it one of the most common chronic health conditions in America. Let’s rip the band-aid off! I’m joined by one of my favorite advocates for this important discussion… Barby Ingle from the International Pain Foundation.
