You’ve got a cough, fatigue, maybe a fever—so is it just a viral “cold,” or something more serious like pneumonia? James, Brodie, and Josh break down what pneumonia actually is, the clues that matter (and the ones that don’t), why antibiotics are sometimes the wrong answer, and the red flags that mean it’s time to get checked—fast. Plus: a myth-busting segment on “getting sick from being cold,” and the real-world reason pneumonia keeps ERs busy every winter.

Join Brodie, Josh, and James as they tackle the painful (and surprisingly funny) world of kidney stones - why they happen, what makes them hurt so much, and how to keep your body from starting its own gravel business. From ER stories to myth-busting and prevention tips, this episode delivers real talk, laughs, and practical advice for anyone with kidneys! Also...rhubarb???

Your appendix mostly minds its own business—until one day it sparks a full-blown abdominal crisis. In our new episode of Not Another Medical Podcast, James, Brodie, and Josh unpack:

➡️ How appendicitis actually starts and why the pain “moves”

➡️ Why 1 in 12 of us will get it

➡️ When to stop “waiting it out” and head to the ER 🚑

➡️ Whether antibiotics can ever replace surgery

➡️ And what the appendix might really be for: a leftover evolutionary glitch… or a microbiome bunker and immune outpost that stuck around for a reason.
