In this episode, Amy interviews Jesse Tonkinson, a medical student and first-time father. He shares his pandemic experience and perspective on telehealth as he witnessed first-hand personally and professionally.

“It’s extremely hard to Facetime or Zoom and understand what the doctor is talking about. You’re just sitting in the parking lot, and you know, the phone dies and you’re just stuck there in the parking lot crying and wishing that you could be there.”

Highlights:

0:44- “What was it like adapting to medical school during a global health crisis?”

1:08- “My daughter was born in August 2020”

1:47- “Our experience as patients…I was just the driver”

2:18- “By the time we got to delivery in August”

2:58- “As a medical student, I got to deliver”

3:30- “Each week as we got closer and closer to delivery we would meet with a different doctor”

4:30- “You might be entering into your first virtual appointment”

4:49- “Eye contact is a huge piece of that”

5:59- “The more of you the doctor can see, the better”

6:33- “If you are impaired in sight or hearing”
