Doc Sarah
How do we know when to push through pain to pursue the activities we love? And when should we suspect that injuries are part of a disease process? In this episode we meet Doc Sarah, a pediatrician, mother of four, and avid runner bedeviled by these questions. “I had gone for 30 years with no injuries,” Sarah recalls. “Then all of a sudden I've got IT band, plantar fasciitis, I’m tearing my hamstrings.” This odyssey highlights the challenge of diagnosis even for an experienced Doc like Sarah and confirmed by Divya Muthappa, a General Practitioner in Texas. “There are patients that I am just 99% sure that I know what their diagnosis is,” confides Dr. Muthappa. “And it ends up being something else.” While Dr. Jeffrey Sparks, a rheumatologist at Brigham & Women's, notes that Sarah’s ordeal is by no means atypical. Tune in for an odyssey of self-diagnosis and self-discovery as Doc Sarah emerges a better listener to her patients and to her own body’s aches and pains.
