Episode Synopsis

Explore surgical care in rural Canada through the perspective of host Dr. Randy Lehman as he sits down with Canadian general surgeon, Dr. Emily Mitic. Dr. Mitic is dedicated to serving rural Alberta, practicing in a small city uniquely positioned between two major urban centers, which means her hospital serves a greater population of about 425,000 people. Tune in for a detailed walkthrough of Dr. Mitic’s approach to GI bleeds, a discussion of some distinctions between American and Canadian healthcare, and a lively rural surgery anecdote!
