This bonus episode is addressing a recent clue on the game show Jeopardy! that was offensive and derogatory towards POTS Syndrome patients, as well as giving you some general info on what POTS actually is! I am not someone with POTS, but I will never stand back and let ableism in the media continue, especially in this way on a nationally televised game show. Hopefully this sets the record straight AND is educational!
