I connect with Dr. Zixi Wang - a medical school friend who I don't get to see enough these days.

We catch up and talk about his role as a family doctor in London, Ontario, his unique childhood and immigration story, as well as his passions including running, visual art, and photography.

I really enjoy talking and being inspired with Marc-David Munk MD, a Canadian-American physician with a recent book release:  Urgent Calls from Distant Places: An Emergency Doctor's Notes About Life and Death on the Frontiers of East Africa.

We get to talk about writing the book, his work in East Africa with AMREF Flying Doctors, challenges working in the ER in North American health care system, and his retraining in Palliative Care Medicine. He has also worked as an innovator in health care delivery with, for example, CVS pharmacy and Iora Health, and he mentions some alternative ways of approaching primary care delivery.

I get to talk to Don Farquar - North Bay Legend who is a milutisport athlete, pillar of the community, and member of my running group. We talk about running, addiction, alchohol and AA, health and ageing, lessons learned and gratitude for being alive.

I really enjoyed this podcast and look forward to re-listening in years to come.
