085 - Good Cop, Bad Health: Dr. Melody Rodarte

Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailAlthough we normally focus on interviews with police officers, today we're talking to a medical doctor who is married to a newly retired homicide detective.  Her name is Dr. Melody Rodarte and I wanted to ask her about police officer health.  Why do they get sick and what parts of the job cause it?  And more importantly what can be done about it.  Dr Rodarte has a lot of wisdom and insight, not only as a physician, but also as an LEO wife.DISCLAIMER: Dr. Rodarte is a great doctor, but she's not your doctor.  The information presented in this episode, including any statements or opinions expressed by Dr. Rodarte, is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment by a doctor who has actually met you. Always seek the advice of your qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition and never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you heard on a podcast.  Go see your doctor.Resources:The previous interview with Compassion Alliance was Episode 078Compassion Alliance's website is compassion-alliance.orgMusic is by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 085Tags:Health, Cancer, Doctors, Heart Disease, Life Expectancy, Police, Shift Work, Sleep Apnea, Spouses, Trauma, Wellness, ArizonaSupport the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: [email protected] can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
