Traveling & Politics

Matt announces his absence for three days due to a conference in Seattle, with Josh Filler filling in as host. They discuss the logistics of their travel, including a potential connection in Chicago and the route over the Arctic Circle. The conversation shifts to local politics, with a caller criticizing a governor's call for a moratorium on closing obstetric departments in rural hospitals. Gregg had extensive experience in obstetrics and emergency medicine, argues that the governor lacks understanding of healthcare costs and logistics. They also discuss the financial strain on hospitals and the declining demand for obstetric services.
