BS Medicine Episode #621: Whole-Body MRI for Cancer Screening: Many findings, little benefit

Le groupe d'intérêt des membres sur la santé des patients 2SLGBTQ+ a collaboré avec projet NUANCES, centre de soins en diversité sexuelle et de genre. Dre Judith Lajeunesse et Caroline Paquette de projet NUANCES présentent un cas clinique qui permettra aux médecins de famille de mieux comprendre leur rôle en appuyant les patients qui veulent discuter une transition de genre.

This podcast discusses two of the most common gender-affirming surgeries - vaginoplasty in a transfeminine patient and top surgery or mastectomy in a trans masculine patient. These are emotionally high stakes surgeries for our transgender and gender diverse patients. Family doctors have the knowledge and skills to provide routine postoperative care, and equally important, provide reassurance and a safe place for our patients to be heard.

In episode 623, Jamie and James invite Samantha Moe back again to talk about the never-ending debate as to what is the target for systolic blood pressure.
