The pctweekly

Hosts Curtis and Mina recap a calm but eventful week filled with shocking street incidents—naked passersby, homeless encounters, and hospital emergencies—alongside outdoor adventures like fishing in sudden rain and snow. They also reflect on relationships with patients, workplace burnout, and plans for camping and fishing escapes to recharge.

The hosts chat casually about their week — odd encounters with gurney drivers, sleep struggles from long shifts, staff and scheduling headaches, and small personal moments like fishing trips and reunions with old coworkers.

Hosts Curtis and Mina walk listeners through a chaotic week at their dialysis unit, sharing first-hand stories about water and power outages, equipment failures, and the small fixes that keep treatments running. They also discuss patient interactions, scheduling stress, behind-the-scenes details of how dialysis works, and invite listeners to send in their own stories.

Hosts Curtis and Mina share candid shift stories from the dialysis unit: from a car crashing through a lobby and a Mustang hitting a patient in a wheelchair, to air alarms on machines, clogged biofilm drains, and a pepper-spray scare that shut down a clinic. They mix tense moments with humor, everyday troubleshooting tips, and reflections on tough days.
