The 2 Minute Medicine® Podcast- Episode 58

In this episode, we open with Jessie J’s stage-I breast-cancer disclosure and the immediate surge in mammogram bookings that followed across the United Kingdom. Next, we dive into Olympic swimmer Kyle Chalmers’s frank discussion of anxiety and his virtual workshops that now reach hundreds of young athletes. We then explore Real Housewives star Dolores Catania’s atrial-fibrillation ablation and her plea for women to take palpitations seriously. Finally, we examine how a prostate-cancer subplot on And Just Like That spurred a record spike in Google searches for PSA testing and doubled virtual urology consults. Together these stories underscore the persuasive power of public voices and popular media in driving preventive care, mental-health advocacy, and timely cardiovascular and oncologic screenings.
