This is PediCast.

Welcome to Pediacast, a pediatric podcast for parents.

And now, direct from the campus of nationwide children's, here is your host, Dr. Mike.

Hello, everyone, and welcome.

Once again to Pediacast.

It is a pediatric podcast for moms and dads.

This is Dr. Mike, coming to you from the campus of nationwide children's hospital.

We are in Columbus, Ohio.

It's episode 470 for August 27th, 2020.

We're calling this one Your Child's Eyes.

I want to welcome all of you to the program.

Our Pediatrics in Plain Language Panel joins us again this week.

You will recall that when Dr. Marianne Abrams and Dr. Alex Rakowski join me in the studio.

We, well, not in the studio, but, you know, we're doing it remotely because there is a,

this little thing called the COVID-19 pandemic.

So if you're like two years out listening back to an old episode, all of our, all of our

interviews are remote right now as we practice social distancing during this unprecedented,

at least in modern times, a pandemic.

But anyway, when Dr. Abrams and Dr. Rikowski joined me,

we try really hard to cut out the medical jargon and use plain language in the podcast.

That's why we call it our Pediatrics in Plain Language panel.

Now, that does not mean that we oversimplify things because, you know, we want you to understand what's going on with your child, at least to the point that you're comfortable in your understanding and in making medical decisions and taking an active role in your child's care.
