Be Prepared, Not Scared. Laura Bartlett on Patient Advocacy, the Wine Condom, and Knowing Your No

⚠  This episode contains medical advocacy content with strong opinions about hospital protocols during COVID.Laura Bartlett spent close to fifteen years producing comedy in Dallas. She founded Four Funny Females, brought a product called the Wine Condom to market from a two-bedroom houseusing mosquito netting staple-gunned to the ceiling, landed on the Today Show twice, and turned down Shark Tank on principle. Then her brother, Dr. Richard Bartlett, told her over lunch in 2020 that he was watching patients recover in two to three days. He said he wished more people knew about it. So Laura did the only thing she knows how to do. She picked up a microphone and went to work.Six years later, she runs a 24-hour patient hotline and co-created the I Do Not Consent form — a legal document designed to make sure your no means no before you ever need it. This episode is not medical advice. It is one woman's hard-earned experience and an invitation to think for yourself. Topics: Comedy and Advocacy | Patient Rights | The I Do Not Consent Form | Dr. Richard Bartlett | Budesonide Protocol | Hospital Advocacy | Entrepreneurship | The Wine Condom | Principled LivingResources: idonotconsentform.com | budesonideworks.com | HospitalHostage Hotline: 888-219-3637
