S3 Ep6 - Prostate to the Higher Mind

A comedian walks into a medical school for a rectal exam….This is not a set up for a joke, this is Devon Flynn’s day job. Our guest on this episode is a stand up comedian, playwright, author, DJ, bike mechanic and a standardized medical patient and male clinical teaching associate at a medical school. In his day job, he helps medical students practice their communication skills and clinical acuity, acting as a standardized patient. Things get a little more intense when his job takes a turn as a male clinical teaching associate and students learn how to do digital rectal examinations on him. Yes, that’s what I said. Devon is a consummate professional by day, guiding medical students through this delicate examination and offering real time feedback and tips and tricks. (For example, trim those fingernails folks!) By night, he takes all of his experiences, including this one, and finds the funny. Devon is a strong advocate for mens’ health and for getting all of your parts checked out regularly. He is happy to report that his prostate is doing great. This episode is about vulnerability, professionalism, and lube. Enjoy!FacebookCBC storyThanks for listening to Comedicine!
