• S5 - E7 - Elaine Miller, Fanny and Me!

  Elaine Miller, Fanny and Me!  In this episode of Comedicine, we get to talk to pelvic physiotherapist and comedian, Elaine Miller. Elaine Miller is a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, specialising in women’s health.  She started doing stand-up comedy as a hobby, finding the lighter side of female urinary incontinence. In doing so, she found a way to reach and educate women about their fannies.  Elaine lives in Edinburgh, home of the biggest Arts festival in the world, so the obvious next step for her was to write and perform a solo show about pelvic floors at the Edinburgh Fringe. Gusset Grippers, won the Comedy Award at Fringe World, Australia in 2020.  Her second show, Viva Your Vulva, the Hole Story, was one of only two shows to be awarded five stars in 2023.  She collaborated with Monash University on a paper examining humour as a health promotion tool and her #DryByChristmas social media campaign reminding women to do their pelvic floor exercises was published by Rosie Haper from Bournemouth University. Elaine shares some incredible facts, like 50% of women don’t know the difference between the vulva and the vagina. FIFTY PERCENT PEOPLE! This is just not acceptable to Elaine. It is also not acceptable that it takes and average of 7 years for women to get medical help with incontinence. SEVEN YEARS!! The good news is that once you find a pelvic physio, most women get better! Through humour, Elaine is trying to change the world. One vagina at a time.   Clip – https://youtu.be/XODY8eqbG4I?feature=shared  More information on Elaine: https://www.csp.org.uk/frontline/article/3-minutes-elaine-miller  Scientific papers on humour: https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/could-humour-be-the-key-to-a-healthier-society  https://staffprofiles.bournemouth.ac.uk/display/rharper1  @gussiegrips   SCRIBENOTE  Thank you to our season 5 title sponsor, Scribenote! Scribenote is an AI-powered veterinary scribe that saves you hours of record-keeping every day, boosts clinic efficiency, and helps you leave work on time.  Promo code: COMEDICINE15 for 15% off Scribenote for 1 year Link: https://app.scribenote.com/auth/register?referralCode=Comedicine-Bonus (use this linke to double the regular free trial usage!)Thanks for listening to Comedicine!

• S5 - E6 - Theatre is Life with Stephanie Goss

  Theatre is Life with Stephanie Goss How does a degree in theatre and music help you run a veterinary hospital? Let me count the ways! Our guest in this episode is Stephanie Goss. Stephanie started out with a plan to be in the theatre, but on the production management side. Then she transitioned to teaching. Then she transitioned into veterinary medicine. She is not afraid to make changes or take chances. We talk about her career path from receptionist to veterinary technician to practice manager to working for the Uncharted Veterinary Conference. Uncharted is a great word for Stephanie’s career, but it’s honestly working out for her. She is the co-host of the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast with friend of Comedicine, Dr Andy Roark. We can’t wait to see what Stephanie does next! Sarah is hoping that fixing veterinary medicine is on her to do list. Thank you to our season 5 title sponsor, Scribenote! Scribenote is an AI-powered veterinary scribe that saves you hours of record-keeping every day, boosts clinic efficiency, and helps you leave work on time.  Promo code: COMEDICINE15 for 15% off Scribenote for 1 year Link: https://app.scribenote.com/auth/register?referralCode=Comedicine-Bonus (use this linke to double the regular free trial usage!) Thanks for listening to Comedicine!

• S5 - E3 - Emily in Research - Emily Tang

  S5 - E3 - Emily in Research - Emily TangIn this episode, we stretch the definition of health care a bit for our delightful guest, Emily Tang. Despite the pressure to become a doctor, Emily learned early on that she is not good with nightshifts or bodily fluids, especially blood, so doctor fell off the list of possible jobs. Emily is a full-time Master's student at the University of British Columbia. Her Master's research thesis is on social media and its influences on sexual health education for immigrant women. Emily and Sarah try to solve all of the problems caused by social media in this episode and we get so close! Emily discovered the UBC Comedy Club when she started her Master’s and now spends her spare time writing and performing stand-up comedy. She takes inspiration from her experiences as a first-generation Chinese immigrant, arriving in Canada at the age of 8. Emily has advocated for sexual health since high school, and she is also currently the Vice President of the graduate student society at UBC, advocating for government policies related to post-secondary education, sexualized violence, and well-being. Emily comes from a conservative Chinese cultural belief where sexual health is viewed as taboo, she wants to use stand-up comedy as another way to advocate for Asian women. I can’t wait to see what she does next! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsemilytang/ Thank you to our season 5 title sponsor, Scribenote!Scribenote is an AI-powered veterinary scribe that saves you hours of record-keeping every day, boosts clinic efficiency, and helps you leave work on time. Promo code: COMEDICINE15 for 15% off Scribenote for 1 yearLink: https://app.scribenote.com/auth/register?referralCode=Comedicine-Bonus (use this linke to double the regular free trial usage!)Thanks for listening to Comedicine!
