Medical Mondays

These FRDs are Giving Back…

FRDs & Health Experts Mike Green, Mike Gorman and Nate Palmer want to give back to the FRD community through “Medical Mondays”.

These guys would like to invite real medical questions from guys dealing with real medical problems for themselves and their families and not just answering interesting questions that anyone could look up. There will be a spreadsheet used to prioritize and upvote questions.

CONTRIBUTE TO UPVOTE DOC

For a little back story…

We are at an interesting time in the information/internet age. Information is so ubiquitous that it is overwhelming. Medicine is no different. For that reason, now more than ever there is a lack of trust in medicine. And the pandemic has drained whatever trust was left.

Obviously these gents don’t have all the answers but they want to be a trustworthy source of medical information for the Front Row Dads group. They’d like to be a sounding board and one of our “relationships” that can point to “resources” as they see them. In an effort to provide different points of view and coverage, they are making what Mike Green calls “Medical Monday”.

These sessions will not be recorded for privacy and liability purposes. Upcoming dates include:

  • July 17th | 1PM CT 
  • August 14th | 1PM CT 
  • September 11th | 1PM CT 
  • October 17th | 1PM CT
