| 0:00.0 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Welcome back to the Womed, my dear ones. This week I've got the hilarious IG, real queen and boundary-busting orthopedic surgeon Dr. Pamela Mehta. |
| 0:27.0 | I cannot begin to describe how bad ass she is. |
| 0:31.0 | Orthopedics being a predominantly male dominated field, I loved getting to speak with Dr. Mehta about her work and starting her own practice. |
| 0:40.0 | Seriously, such a badass. |
| 0:43.0 | So get your saws and your bone hammers. |
| 0:45.0 | I'm not really sure if a bone hammer is a thing. |
| 0:49.0 | Could be, but grab one and listen up. |
| 0:51.0 | This week's Nasty Energy Moment comes to us from Sarah. |

| 1:57.0 | And I'm just kind of an airhead sometimes when it comes to Instagram and like figuring things out. But, |
| 2:04.0 | Fan, thank you so, so much. I'm so glad that we finally made this happen. |
| 2:08.0 | No, and I applaud you guys because when you guys started I was like how kick ass is this like |
| 2:15.0 | thank you have two really strong women in health care that have the control and |
| 2:21.5 | opportunity and resources to interview other women that can share their stories also. |
| 2:27.0 | I mean, I just, I feel like it's just, it is really hard to understand what women go through. |
