Mechanical Care Forum Podcast Interview

With 50 episodes of the "Consumer's Guide To Health" podcast in the archives, I can say that I have done my share of interviewing. That process will resume soon with the refactoring of the podcast and its rebirth in January 2015 as the "Live A Smart Life" podcast.

However, I am rarely the topic of the interview - the interviewee, if you will. The roles have rarely been reversed. Until now.

Jason Ward, a physical therapist from Memphis, TN, has put together a great podcast entitled "Mechanical Care Forum". I had the opportunity to be interviewed for his podcast with a full 90 minute interview appearing over the span of two podcast episodes.

Jason started the "Mechanical Care Forum" podcast - "sharing experience for improved patient care" - in March 2014. As Jason notes on the site, "I hope to, in some small way, contribute to making available great content that inspires, educates, and entertains others with the same interests". There are now 38 episodes with some tremendous clinicians and researchers. The episode list is a who's who of mechanical care:

Episode 1: Mark Werneke

Episode 2: Robert Medcalf

Episode 3: Ron Doneslon

Episode 4: Richard Rosedale

Episodes 5-6: Audrey Long

Episodes 7-8: Dave Oliver

Episodes 9-10: Grant Watson

Episodes 11-12: Mark Miller

Episodes 13-14: Colin Davies

Episodes 15-16: Ron Schenk

Episodes 17-18: Stephen May

Episode 19: Troy McGill

Episodes 20-21: Gabor Sagi

Episodes 22-23: Ron Bybee

Episodes 24-25: Ezequiel Gherscovici

Episodes 26-27: Ted Dreisinger

Episodes 28-29: Brian Mulligan

Episodes 30-31: Helen Clare

Episodes 32-33: Gary Jacob

Episodes 34-35: Dr. Steven Heffner

Episodes 36-37: Allan Besselink

Episode 38: Jon Weinberg

It is quite an honor to be included in such an illustrious list of clinicians and researchers. Many thanks to Jason for what was a very enjoyable and fun experience!
