In this episode, Dr. Pamela Mehta sits down with orthopedic hand surgeon and digital creator Dr. Erin Nance to explore how women’s health, sports injuries, and social media all collide. From unexplained wrist pain in yoga to decade-long medical mysteries and the realities of being a woman in a 94% male field, you’ll hear how Erin is using storytelling, technology, and patient advocacy to rebuild trust and bring better information straight to patients’ phones. Key Topics: 1. How Women’s Bodies Are Treated in Orthopedics - Why so many “standard” studies are based on men, even for problems women feel most - How everyday activities like yoga and Pilates can cause pain that’s often brushed off - What can change when someone finally decides women’s pain is worth studying 2. The Weekend Warrior and the Aging Athlete - Why people in their 40s and 50s are playing like they’re still in their 20s - How overdoing it on the court, course, or slopes can quietly set up an injury - Simple mindset shifts around warming up, cooling down, and not ignoring early warning signs 3. Social Media, Misinformation, and Second Chances for Patients - How a single message from a stranger online led to a long-missed diagnosis - Why so many people scroll for answers late at night instead of calling a doctor - The tension between “viral hacks” and careful medical advice—and how Erin is trying to bridge that gap 4. Women in Orthopedics and Rebuilding Trust in Healthcare - What it’s really like training and working in a specialty where women are still rare - How pregnancy, call schedules, and workplace culture can push women out of the field - Why representation, listening, and honest conversations can change outcomes for patients and doctors alike If you haven’t already, please rate, review, and follow the podcast to be notified of new episodes every Thursday.
