Before we get into what is indisputably one of the wildest episodes we've had, which I feel like we keep saying, but like they just keep getting wilder.

I want to take a little moment to say, thank you guys for supporting

us so much. It's been really great to feel the community so involved and to also ask you guys

for help so we can continue to create content like this. Yeah, we would appreciate any reviews

or telling your friends, put it on your Instagram stories.

We love reading all the comments from you guys.

And so the more we know what you love about the podcast will help us make better podcasts.

Exactly.

And the more that people know about the podcast, the more opportunities to tell stories we'll have.

So we're really just hoping to build a community and really drive awareness for what women

face in trying to get medical treatment. Speaking of which, this episode has what I would like

to refer to as a literal icon when it comes to advocating for care.

Yes, I think we're going to start our own medical detectives awards ceremonies.

Maybe we'll hand out little, I don't know, little pills. I don't know.

Well, I think what little stethoscopes or something.

What you'll find out is that if she were to get an award, it would be a little fishy. And that's all we'll say.

So with that, let's get into it.

Hi, Leah. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Hi, Lou. Thanks for having me. This is exciting. I am super excited. Wednesday is my favorite day of the week now because I am a researcher.

So every time after the episode, I get to go Google lunch of stuff. And it's like my favorite.

Oh, so good luck to you. You will be Googling for quite a while. Oh, no. It's a good one.

Yeah, I don't want to give things away, but I will say that I am on vacation and I had to do the most prep work ever for this episode.
