In episode 48, we again invite our psychiatry colleague Adi Virani to talk about the important area of anxiety disorders. Mike and Adil talk about the 6 most common conditions and we find out 25% of the population have some sort of an anxiety disorder. Fortunately, there were only three of us on the podcast so James decides the one who must have an anxiety disorder is our good friend Bob Rangno.
Mike and James celebrate their first anniversary by inviting a good friend and colleague Bob Rangno back to the podcast. We talk about things in medicine that drive us crazy and at the end we come to the conclusion laughter is the best medicine. We then write a Laughter Guideline and outline exactly how patients should laugh, when they should laugh and how often they should laugh.
