Bowel Sounds: The Pediatric GI Podcast
Bryan Rudolph - Patient Advocacy
Show Notes

June is National Safety Month, and in this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Jenn Lee, Peter Lu and Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Bryan Rudolph about patient advocacy, especially in terms of his work to ban high powered magnets to prevent accidental ingestions in children. We talk about how he got started in advocacy work, the ups and downs of the magnet fight, and advice for listeners on how they can get involved in advocacy in whatever capacity they can.

As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
