Welcome!
If you've ever woken from a couch nap, confused about the time of day, or the year, and ok maybe also if it's accidentally Victorian England, you're in the right place.
We're two (tired) triple-board certified doctors who've been best friends for over a decade. When we need to discuss mysterious rashes, the ongoing destruction of the US healthcare system, and where to find a dog to snuggle, we are lucky to have each other to lean on. And now you have us, too.
Think of this newsletter as your group chat with two doctors who are deep in it with you - navigating midlife, medicine, and why snacks are the best. Together we'll figure out what's worth worrying about, which wellness trends are nonsense, and how to advocate for yourself in a broken healthcare system (ok, and maybe also world).
Each week on Couch Nap, you might find:
Personal stories about our experiences as physicians and patients
Healthcare news we think you should know about
The looming healthcare apocalypse, aka big changes in the healthcare system that aren’t getting enough coverage
Tips and tricks for when you or your family member are a patient
What we are doing/avoiding/buying to thrive (sort of) in midlife
Unlike a rushed doctor's visit, there's no timer running here. We can’t provide specific medical advice, but we would love to help you - comment or email us! Also, we want to see pictures of your dog.
See you on the couch,
Dr. Kristina and Dr. Vicky
P.S. For real about the dog pictures.
Join us, fellow potato wives!
