Episode Description
Kathryn interviews Author Kim Dower. Acclaimed for combining the accessible and profound, Kim Dower’s poems about motherhood are some of her most moving and disarmingly candid. Culled from her four collections as well as a selection of new work, these poems, heartbreaking, funny, surprising, and touching, explore the quirky, unexpected observations, and bittersweet moments mothers and daughters share. These evocative poems do not glorify mothers, but rather look under the hood of motherhood and explore the deep crevices and emotions of these impenetrable relationships: the love, despair, joy, humor and gratitude that fills our lives. Her poetry has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “sensual and evocative . . . seamlessly combining humor and heartache,” and by O Magazine as “unexpected and sublime.” Kathryn also interviews Dr. Greg Marchand. Women have long had their Fallopian tubes tied for birth control, but new research co-authored by Master Surgeon Dr. Greg Marchand shows that having them removed is a safe and effective alternative. He is coauthor of a 2020 study in The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology on the merits of salpingectomy (surgical removal of a Fallopian tube) vs. tubal ligation. The study, a systematic review and meta-analysis, found few differences between the procedures, with no differences in most important clinical outcomes (antimüllerian hormone, blood loss, length of hospital stay, pre- or postoperative complications, or wound infections). He is the director of the Marchand Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery and was recently honored with a World Record for performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy through the smallest incision ever.
