HC360 #019 - Physical Augmentation Brought to Light with Heather Hauka

Published: Feb. 10, 2020, 2:49 a.m.

Join me in welcoming my guest, founder of Quill Drive, Heather Hauka, a writer, a nurse, a medical content creator and strategist. Today we will explore a healthcare topic not often discussed - plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures - Heather and I will explore the gaps in communication between physicians and patients, touch on the knowledge deficit that exists and expose where patients go hunting for detailed information, and how, when executed well, these procedures can be a catalyst to live life! We will examine the various procedures for both women and men and uncover the risks of the “exotic getaways” patients may opt for when considering augmentation. We will then plunge into the potential psychological and financial implications and my conversation with Heather will conclude with the most alarming reveal of all, DIY procedures currently presented on various social media platforms. Be prepared to be mind blown, all on Healthcare360.
