In episode 79 of the HeartsnSpades podcast, we discuss health and wellness and are led into the conversation by two wonderful nurses. We try to understand why certain things happen with our health and what we can do to pre-empt them. We talk about self-medication and its consequences on our bodies. We try to understand the reason for the wait times in Canadian hospitals and how we can manage them better. We discuss the barriers to getting into nursing abroad and what one can do to speed things up. We also spoke about STDs and a call to get tested more often. We really enjoyed filming this one.
