Listen to this 30 minutes talk that reinforced my idea that we are in it together, and if we surround ourselves with like-minded, kind individuals we will make it through tough time, perhaps even stronger, or at least more resourceful.

Michael Putnam reads medical literature with me.
Dr. Putnam has a podcast EBRheum.com where he concentrates on literature review relevant to rheumatology.

It is then that I invited him to talk to me about lessons I learned based on his speech, but also to review osteoarthritis treatment trial with use of prednisolone (steroid) that was named HOPE and was released in 2019 by Lancet publications.

Also on these blog pages you will find post on remote interview with tips how to make sure it goes well for you and your guests. You will find it in section Moments published October 19th 2020.
