You can support Healthcare Triage on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/healthcaretriage Next week: https://youtu.be/uzhrFHyen_M Re: Mic pounding...SORRY! We used this mic because we knew John was coming at some point. Didn't anticipate the desk noise though (we tried to fix it during the show). We'll be back to our normal mic for next week. If you find it totally unbearable, skip to 21:14...most of it goes away after that. Timecode/topics :13 - We've got a Facebook page: Facebook.com/healthcaretriage :35 - We're announcing our Patreon page! It's finally happening :) Patreon.com/healthcaretriage 2:39 - I've been frequenting several pregnancy & parenting forums lately and there seem to be a lot of women swearing by the "soft cup method" (trapping ejaculate against the cervix using a menstrual cup, typically overnight). Is there any merit to this? 3:37 - Can you talk about/explain Febrile Seizures? As a 911 dispatcher, parents often call extremely freaked out about them and have often never heard of them before. 5:36 - We already know about the potential side effects of advanced maternal age, there are recent studies on the potential side effects of advanced paternal age. What have the results been? 7:14 - I found your HCT episode on e-cigs interesting. As a follow-up, is there any evidence that Nicotine by itself is a carcinogen? Should we be concerned for people who use Nicotine gum or patches? 8:38 - With the creation of more user-based health products, is healthcare and health monitoring switching to a more user-controlled environment? What products will have the most impact on consumers? 10:49 - How do I find a minimalist doctor? I found that many doctors I visit offer most invasive solution and get upset when I ask for less invasive alternatives. 11:48 - With my first pregnancy, I was put on bed rest for 11 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Can you tell me about the benefits and risks of bed rest during pregnancy? 14:25 - CONFETTI!!! 15:03 - Jo
