Episode 5: Are men really “allergic” to the doctor’s office until something’s falling off? And do women actually self-diagnose after a deep dive on “Google University”? In this eye-opening episode of On Call Off Script, a Jackson Health System podcast, our host Ruelle Champion sits down with Dayron Rodriguez, MD, a community urologist, and Mrudula Munagala, MD, a transplant cardiologist from Miami Transplant Institute, to unpack the stereotypes behind how men and women manage their health. From prostate and urinary health to heart disease and the power of early detection, our guests reveal how gender differences affect how quickly people seek care. Whether your team “ignore it” or team “call the doctor,” you’ll walk away inspired to make your health a priority.
