In this episode, Steve talks with Dr. Ghobadi about medical screening. He has experience working in emergency medicine, medical clinics, as well as screening, diagnosing and patient care. He did his schooling and training in his home country of Iran but moved to Canada a few years ago and is continuing to pursue medicine. Steve wanted to talk about this topic, because he feels if he had more screening done for himself, it may have lessened the severity of some of his disabilities. Screening is a great tool to determine if preventative treatment would be useful and helpful.  Dr. Ghobadi describes some of the most important medical screening procedures, when and why they should be performed. Always consult with your family doctor, a medical clinic or a hospital as to what is right for you, as these are guidelines only.
