"It becomes critical for physicians to meet people where they are. COVID is not going anywhere, but because the population is getting vaccinated, we\u2019re seeing milder courses of illness, which is wonderful.\u201d\nDr. Mandi Sehgal - is a board certified Geriatrician and Family Medicine Physician. And she\u2019s more than just a FrieMMd of the Pod, she may just be related to one of our co-hosts. Since much to the dismay of our parents, we are still NOT doctors, and much to the dismay of...everyone, we are still in a global pandemic, the US Department of Health & Human Services asked to us enroll a real professional, so we decided to keep it in the family. Not just to talk about being vaccinated, but also getting your latest booster as we go into the fall and winter months. After all, if you\u2019re planning on getting together with your family, you should protect yourself and them by getting an updated COVID vaccine. But that\u2019s not all Dr. Mandi had to say, she also shared about her side of the story growing up in Alabama with Indian parents (and an annoyingly charming little brother). But also her journey into a field of medicine that is becoming increasingly important, despite what the fancy surgeons on TV tell you. So Sharon asks the questions she\u2019s been wondering about, Mandi sets the record straight, and Raman gets more and more uncomfortable. You won\u2019t want to miss this very special sibling show.\nMENTIONS\n\nNY Times COVID Tracker: nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html\n\n\nThe 5 M\u2019s: healthinaging.org/tools-and-tips/tip-sheet-5ms-geriatrics\n\n\nBOOK: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk - goodreads.com/book/show/769016.How_to_Talk_So_Kids_Will_Listen_Listen_So_Kids_Will_Talk\n\nBOOK: Siblings: How to handle sibling rivalry to create strong and loving bonds - goodreads.com/book/show/35420250-siblings\n\nPERSON: Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy - wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Murthy\n\n\nSHOW: Scrubs: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285403/\n\n\nThis episode is sponsored by the Department of Health & Human Services, who\u2019s encouraging you and your community to make sure you\u2019ve got the COVID-19 Vaccine & Booster.
