One of my favorite parts of hosting the Still a Nurse podcast is the exposure it offers to differing points of view. I love discovering alternative career paths and new ideas regarding this field. Today's guest has years of experience with both traditional and herbal medicine and a perspective that may challenge your opinions and assumptions. I'm very interested to hear listeners' thoughts on this topic. You can leave comments on stillanurse.co. As always, nothing contained in this or any episode constitutes medical advice.
