Welcome to Episode 1 of our 4th Season! I can't express how grateful I am for the continued support from around the world as this podcast continues to grow! We are now hosted on multiple streaming sites and have listeners regularly tuning in from as far away as India, Great Britain, Australia, and more! Thank you so much and I look forward to continuing to deliver the very best I can for you!
Today's episode kicks off the new season with a discussion on the antiquated practice of orthostatic vital signs. Is there still utility in this, and if so, when? What does this procedure actually show us? How do we apply this and to which population is it most appropriate?
