I always had a love for animals, specifically reptiles. So I did my undergrad in zoology at the

University of Calgary and then I moved to Africa and did a thesis study in chameleons. And I was in a

research station with Doctors Without Borders. And it was just daily work that I saw these

physicians doing who are a dermatologist and an infectious disease.

And then I came back and said to my parents, I want to be a doctor. And my parents were like,

well, thank God. Calm down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of IHeart Radio.

It is a big day for Aaron and I, one of our favorite people in life, Dr. Cindy Pfeiffer is joining us today.

A true professional joins the podcast, ladies and gentlemen. This woman, her resume goes on and on and on.

But to just simply put it, we will 10 years, over 10 years of experience as an emergency

room physician also.

Wild.

Emergency room physician for the L.A. Kings, the world of M.MA. For boxing and so much more.

We rely on her for absolutely everything, texting her at all hours of the night and day. She is an incredible

human being. She really is, she does it all, way more than meets the eye. I love you so much.

As does Erin, you introduce me. Erin, you introduce me to Cindy and I'm forever grateful.

So we are going to talk to you about everything today, Cindy, and we are so excited that you're

joining us. Welcome to the Calm Down podcast. Well, thank you so much. And it is an absolute honor

to be here with both of you. You know, I adore and love you both and I'm just in awe of your careers

and what you both have done and just how humble and kind both of you are. So to be here is an honor.

So thank you for that introduction. Well, back at you. I have to say, you know, that one of the

first questions I just wrote down for you, I got to know you from a mutual friend. You're part of

the King's family. I mean, not only are you their trauma doctor, but you are also our lifeline for everything.
