Today I'm excited to welcome Nurse Blake.

Blake has an extraordinary path from nursing to comedy. He talks about how humor can help us work

through trauma. He's played a major role in Band for Life, which is a media

social media campaign to get the FDA to end the lifetime ban on gay men from donating blood which was bizarre

as though as though being gay was was the marker for infectivity or something.

It's just bizarre.

But a lot for us to talk about Blake in terms of many of the bizarre aspects of our health care system.

Thank you for joining me.

Yeah, thanks so much for having me on.
