Joining Dr. Ashwin Basavaraj, Associate Professor of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, to talk about how we can optimize the diagnosis and management of bronchiectasis and NTM are Dr. Keren Bakal, Dr. Nathan Falk, and Ms. Amy Springer.

This week we talked with an amazing frontline family, Necia & Tim McQueen. I’ve gotten to know them through our running community and via a fundraiser I started to #feedhealthcareheroes (be sure to check out the link below) Necia works in Respiratory Therapy at Overlook Medical Center in Summit and Tim in Clinical Engineering at Morristown Medical Center, both part of Atlantic Health System. They shared some incredible stories of what it’s like on the front lines today and how they are managing family life in such stressful times. I greatly appreciated spending time with them, meeting their children, and the sacrifices they are making. If you enjoy the conversation, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.
