Introduction to 'This Might Sting'
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello, my name is Julie McCrossin and I want to tell you all about a brand new podcast that I want you to subscribe to. It's called This Might Sting and it's all about health.
Meet Dr. Aidan Barron
00:00:11
Speaker
And I'm going to be enjoying conversations with Dr Aidan Baron.
00:00:16
Speaker
Can you introduce yourself to me, Aidan? Tell us about yourself. Hey, Julie, it's awesome to be here. ah So my name's Aidan. I'm a 30-year-old junior doctor from Sydney.
00:00:27
Speaker
I started off my career as ah as a paramedic and then moved into health research and evidence-based medicine translation and communication. And now I'm enjoying the trials and tribulations of...

Julie's Health Journey and Evidence Commitment

Speaker
beaches of Sydney. And as I said, my name's Julie and I'm 70, so one of these dreaded baby boomers. And like any decent baby boomer, I've got a reasonable ah medical record history and I've also got quite a bit of medication to take.
00:00:57
Speaker
Plus, I've helped my late mother in in the health system. And I think what Aidan and I share is a passionate commitment to evidence.
Importance of Evidence in Healthcare
00:01:05
Speaker
Why do you care so much about evidence in this era of disinformation?
00:01:11
Speaker
That's really the the name of the game, isn't it? It's the big question. I think the important thing about the science and the evidence base to me is that it it doesn't matter who you are.
00:01:24
Speaker
and It doesn't matter what your leanings are or your beliefs are. The evidence is about how to help people in the best way possible. And so it's not about our feelings. It's about the cold, hard facts.
00:01:40
Speaker
And those cold hard facts have an ethical component, which is how do we do the best for the person in front of us and how do we do with the best for society? And I i really like that And we're going to try and do the best for our listeners and
