What happens when chronic gut issues meet the fast pace of the ER? Dr. Rick Pescatore, an emergency physician, joins us to discuss the rising number of patients facing digestive health challenges and the unique barriers they encounter in acute care. We talk about why patient stories matter just as much as test results, and how digital health tools like BellyMD are giving patients the power to track their symptoms, advocate for themselves, and improve communication with doctors. This episode dives into the future of healthcare—where technology, empathy, and patient empowerment come together to create better outcomes.
