These podcasts are comprised of interviews, patient testimonials, condition or treatment highlights, surgical videos, and many other subjects presented by the team at HSS.
The Patients channel :
An interesting podcast is added in patient`s podcast channel ” Golf Pre-Season Training “. Its good point toward patients education how their can keep their bodies healthy away from Golf sport injury , also it has a rich simple medical knowledge which is well presented in Golf Pre-season Training podcast , about how the body works ! and how to train your body for such sport .
It’s good step toward patients education and an interactive example for patients open channel for health matters . even though this podcast channel is rare of its kind which made by doctors and focus on patients .
The goal for Patients podcast channel , is to help the patient to be aware for the condition , the treatment and the surgical procedure , though that count as patients education . it comes with simple plain English , with more details , and patience .
