0:00.0	Well, hello again, and welcome back to the Straight A Nursing Podcast.
0:15.3	I'm your host, nursemo, and as always, I am just really happy to be your study buddy
0:22.1	today.
0:23.2	And today we are diving into episode 203, which is all about osteoporosis.
0:31.6	So before we do that, I do like to take a moment for the listener shout out out to my
0:37.0	San fam. And this one goes to Allison. So Allison says, I've been listening to your podcast for
