Empowering Women Everywhere with Dr. Anjali Malik, MD May 18, 2020

Show notes

On this week’s episode, D is joined by our very first radiologist, Dr. Anjali Malik (@AnjaliMalikMD), who specializes in breast radiology. Anjali is a go-to source when it comes to breast cancer. She is currently serving on the medical board of Bright Pink and is vocal about the breadth of knowledge radiologists can bring to breast cancer awareness. She shares with us how she got her start in the field which did not come without a few bumps along the way, including having her studies relocated during Hurricane Katrina. Anjali and D discuss misconceptions about radiology, how cancer care is being affected by COVID-19, and how everything that happens (even the bad) leads you to where you are today.

Part 2: Quarantine Catch Up with Danielle LeVeck, DNP, ACNP May 11, 2020

Show notes

In part two of our catch up with former co-host and nurse extraordinaire, D and Dani talk about everything from treating COVID-19 patients with humanity and their thoughts on people protesting during the pandemic to their favorite healthcare-themed shows to binge in quarantine and whether Dani has some extra toilet paper to spare. Dani shares the story she posted on her Instagram account, @nurseabnormalities, that proves what a difference it makes to treat patients as people first. The two explore the diverse ways people are viewing nurses at the moment (either heroes or hated) and what life will look like after quarantine (will we kiss anymore!?). Although we may be fighting when it comes to toilet paper, we all need to remember to take care of each other and look out for our loved ones during this time. Stay healthy, WoMed listeners!

Show notes

This week, your host D sits down with Amy Hehre, PA. She is CEO and Founder of OVI Children’s Hospital in western Kenya. We discuss what led her to build a hospital in Kenya and her future plans for it. The beauty of OVI is that they provide long term care for children and orphans and then reunite them with their families. Their staff is entirely Kenyan and they’re very protective of their patients and residents. We discuss patient safety in the age of social media and how we continue to learn from mistakes. Lots to dig into on this episode and some very sensitive subjects, but Amy encourages us to dream big and then do something bigger!

She Can Be Both with Nurse Georgie Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

Welcome back to The WoMed and sorry for the weather delay last week! Today your host D is speaking with Georgina Villarreal, MSN, RN aka Nurse Georgie. She is the purest definition of “She can do both.” With a double major in Spanish and Community Health, she then jumped into a masters Nursing program! Listen along as we dig into education, travel nursing, and the constant struggle of teaching people that women contain multitudes and we should quit putting people in boxes to define them.

Georgie and I had a really thoughtful conversation on the power of women, “nursepreneurs,” travel, and how to bring more nurses together. She recently made the transition from the bedside to a tech start up geared towards creating an awesome community for nurses.

Your host D (@dmmaltby), continues to share more NDE (Nurse D Energy) moments from listeners, so make sure to DM her @thewomed and share yours! You can follow along with Georgie @nurse.georgie, @shecanbeboth, and @holliblu. Much love to all!
