this episode was prompted by a colleague who reminded me, during an inpt consult, that she might be the one left sorting through unresolved issues after d/c.
sometimes i inherit the loose ends. and, being honest, sometimes i create them.
my aim here was more reflection than criticism.
ever since recording this episode, i've noticed "translocation" showing up everywhere.
maybe it's availability bias. maybe it's confirmation bias.
or maybe translocation has quietly become the leading cause of infection in modern medicine.
the latest episode of the host response is out: liars who lie.
this is probably the best episode we've done yet...but you should make sure for yourself, rather than taking my word for it.
