  • Cracking Jokes and Cracking Backs

    On this episode, we talk to our first chiropractor! Dr Michael Friedman joins us from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, which is also where Sarah lives now so we are neighbours! Cool. Michael tells us about the pros and cons of practicing as a chiropractor and his stand up comedy, which has been something that he always wanted to do. He finally took the plunge in 2013 and he hasn’t looked back. Micheal is a regular around the Ottawa comedy scene and he has also travelled around Canada with his comedy. We get into the very controversial topic of dishwasher loading and Sarah flexes her nerd muscles hard and out-nerds Michael with her utensile loading system! Michael also tells us about a patient who did not think a chiropractor should be a stand up comedian because it is not professional and this led Sarah to think that this woman might be dead inside. You be the judge, on this episode of Comedicine!

  • Don’t Get Mad, Get Curious and Creative!

    Lacey Pitcher

    On this episode of Comedicine, we get to know Lacey Pitcher, Registered Veterinary Nurse and she is a DELIGHT!!!! Lacey shares her insights as a veterinary nurse and the editor of the VN Times. Everything she does is infused with creativity and curiosity and sprinkled with joy! Lacey has found her voice as an author and, although she tends to be most inspired by anger, she loves to give her thoughts on the topics of the day in veterinary medicine. If you tell Lacey no, that probably means she is going to do it anyway, and you should probably just let her TBH. Lacey keeps her comedy life private and tends to write about her disastrous dates and do stand up comedy under an alias in a very strong effort to keep her professional life and her comedy life separate. So we aren’t going to tell you how to find that because it’s secret

  • It’s Opposite Day With Rob Lewin!!! This episode is very exciting because it is opposite day with Rob Lewin! Rob is an improviser and sketch comedian living in Guelph, Ontario. His live comedy credits include The Second CityToronto FamCo,The Making-Box Brigade, The Bad Dog Featured Players and festivals such as Toronto Sketchfest, Detroit Improv Festival, Del Close Marathon NYC, and Montreal Improv Festival. He teaches improv and sketch classes with Pinch and you see his sketch duo Corpse perform around Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo. Unlike every other (wonderful) Comedicine guest, who is a health care professional first and then transitions into comedy, Rob has been improvising since before his brain was fully formed. (Grade 9!) Rob is currently in his second year of the Practical Nursing program at Conestoga College. Yes, he is going to keep on doing improv, sketch and teaching improv AND doing nursing, but not at the same time. Would it be cool to teach nurses about improv with his background? Maybe it would, but that’s not what Rob is doing here people! Have a listen, Rob is a wonderful improviser, comedian and human and he whoever ends up with him as their nurse and/or in his audience and/orin his improv class is very lucky!!!

  • A comedian walks into a medical school for a rectal exam
.This is not a set up for a joke, this is Devon Flynn’s day job. Our guest on this episode is a stand up comedian, playwright, author, DJ, bike mechanic and a standardized medical patient and male clinical teaching associate at a medical school. In his day job, he helps medical students practice their communication skills and clinical acuity, acting as a standardized patient. Things get a little more intense when his job takes a turn as a male clinical teaching associate and students learn how to do digital rectal examinations on him. Yes, that’s what I said. Devon is a consummate professional by day, guiding medical students through this delicate examination and offering real time feedback and tips and tricks. (For example, trim those fingernails folks!) By night, he takes all of his experiences, including this one, and finds the funny. Devon is a strong advocate for mens’ health and for getting all of your parts checked out regularly. He is happy to report that his prostate is doing great. This episode is about vulnerability, professionalism, and lube. Enjoy!

  • Dr Greg Bishop is a veterinarian and cartoonist. He graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine at the peak of the median curve in 2013, but Greg is anything but average. Greg endured a small animal rotating internship in the New York area, complete with old-school verbally abusive surgeon, and soul-crushing hours and workload. This horrific experience made Greg decide to be a person after his internship. He is a husband, dad and dog dad in Portland, Oregon. Greg now works as a relief veterinarian in primary care and emergency practice. He is also a teacher at a technical college and a creative. Greg has illustrated eight children's books (working on the ninth) and is currently writing a graphic novel about veterinary medicine. He has a monthly cartoon featured in Veterinary Practice News, and recently started submitting cartoons to the New Yorker. We talk about veterinary medicine, jokes, cartoons, rejection, mentorship and whether it is better to be a crayon or a pencil.

  • On today’s episode we talk to our first paramedic! Brad Pittman has been a paramedic and stand up comedian for 34 years. He works the nightshift as a paramedic outside of Atlanta. Guys, Brad has seen some sh*t. Maybe you think your job is stressful, but do you wear a bullet proof vest to work? Do you? Well Brad does. Brad also had a stroke 8 years ago while at work. This is terrible, but if you are going to have a stroke, having one in an ambulance with another paramedic is a close second to having one in the hospital. Brad’s stroke left him with an intermittent stutter which he has had to work through on stage. Brad is also a Youtuber with some super fun characters that he has cooked up, and a podcaster. His podcast is called Smoked Meat, named after his love of meat! And his meat-related hobbies that helped him get through some tough times. Getting to know Brad was super fun! I’m glad he is out there! Thanks Brad.

  • We head back across the pond to UK interventional cardiologist, Youtuber and comedian, Dr Rohin Francis. His YouTube channel is called Medlife Crisis. Rohin makes videos on medical topics that don’t get covered elsewhere and/or with more scientific rigor than Goop! He breaks it down to make it understandable and he crams in a lot of jokes! We talk about science, jokes and trying to find balance. Is that a thing?

  • Dr Matt Asciutto is a veterinarian, podcaster, musician, improvisor, educator, Dad and visionary that we had the pleasure of talking to on this episode. He has maintained a fine balance of science, medicine, music and comedy throughout his life and he has carved his own path. Matt didn’t get the memo that veterinary medicine is hard to get into and hard in general, and he has a refreshing attitude towards the profesh. Prior to veterinary school, Matt was a professional improv performer for seven years and he completed a Masters in Chemistry. Who exactly is this guy? Take a listen to find out. You won’t regret it!!

    Podcast: https://www.thegreatestprofession.com

    Matt Asciutto has made the annoying decision to live a life that defies the traditional. It is impossible to devise a traditional thesis sentence for a traveling relief emergency vet who still thinks of himself as a performer and teacher.2017 graduate of The University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine, defies norms by working as a full-time emergency relief veterinarian, covering over 35 hospitals across 6 states.

    In his free time, Matt can be found writing silly songs for friends, editing his upcoming book about life as a relief veterinarian, or painstakingly editing episodes of his podcast: The Greatest Profession.
