JNMT Podcast

When Sara's dad started exhibiting abnormal behaviors, doctors were reluctant to run more tests. After all, he'd just had a normal CT scan — what could possibly be wrong? But Sara and her family knew her father well enough to know that his behavior had become atypical and erratic. But it wasn't until he was admitted to the hospital after a seizure that further testing was done, revealing the heartbreaking diagnosis of glioblastoma. Sara's dad passed just a few months after his diagnosis, but Sara, who has since become a reluctant expert on glioblastomas, is hopeful that for future patients, nuclear medicine can provide some answers. Hear more about her story and the potential that nuclear medicine has in diagnosing and treating glioblastomas in this month's episode of the JNMT Podcast.

And when the job you love has become your main source of stress, "pizza Fridays" don't solve the problem. On this episode of the JNMT Podcast, host Jessica Settle, MS, CNMT, RT(N), FSNMMI-TS, is joined by Jamie Warren, Ed.D, MBA, BHS, CNMT, NCT, a technologist and career coach who shares her insights about identifying, managing, and overcoming burnout.

Do you love a good detective story? Us too! But lately, it seems like most things we read on the internet need their own independent investigation. In healthcare, it's more important than ever that the information we learn, train with, and pass on to patients is both accurate and helpful. So for episode 2 of the JNMT podcast, we're turning to expert Jennifer Prekeges, who teaches critical thinking at Bellevue College. Join host Jessica Settle for the ultimate healthcare detective story.
